Where are you from? http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html?smid=fb-share&_r=0 [My map showed Sacramento, Stockton and Salt Lake City,
places I have never lived. At least it
showed I am a Westerner. Del]

I’ve checked up on Viewpoints9 – they have done some interesting work
in the last few months.

The language quiz is really fun. I was nailed as a Californian, which is interesting because I am not a native and have also lived in Asia. I guess I have lived in California so long that I am definitely blending into the woodwork.
Fascinating!!!
That was fun- and I'm definitely a Californian, even if I haven't lived there in 20 years!
The "safety in numbers" ad is very cute! I saved that page to look at more.
I took the language quiz twice, because the page had to be "recovered." The first time I said "y'all" and it gave me a tight Bay area cluster; the second time I said "you" as when I was raised, and got Seattle, Spokane, and SLC. (Grew up in Seattle, but my influence by southerners moved me down to California!) Fun.
