Dialect Map Quiz.. what do you get?
 
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...01800020000400

Map takes awhile to load after quiz since they're being hammered. Just give it a minute.

Even though I have adopted y'all, parking on any grassy area next to a sidewalk, and know what a service road is and use 'em frequently.. they still nailed my home dialect.

Bastards.

Jesus, this thing is ridiculously accurate. I got New York, Philadelphia and Washington, the three places I've lived (or, in Philadelphia's case, lived near) other than 15 months in Des Moines.

Apparently "sneakers" is extremely regional. But I've never heard anyone try to correct me on it.

Fremont, Newark and OKC. OKC is near the state I was born in, Newark is near the state I was raised in.

Fremont is based on my answer of firefly, so I think that's out the window.

What do you mean, "I guess"? You're from Vancouver. Canada wasn't included. What answer did you expect?
