What's Your American Dialect?
« on: January 06, 2014, 04:39:22 PM »
So recently my russian teacher introduced me to this online dialect survey made by Harvard University students and published in the New York Times.  It asks you 25 questions along the lines of "What do you call..." and "How do you pronounce..." certain items.  It then compares your answers and shows you cities in the US that have similar dialects.

Try it here: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html?_r=0

Here's my result:

First time I did it, it gave my hometown of Fremont, CA.

Where on the east coast?  I don't expect you to know states, so could you give me city names or northeast, central, or southeast?
