My editor at About.com brought this dialect survey to the attention of the Computing guide for a little Friday Fun last week. It really is interesting and amusing! Check out the results of the Dialect Survey.

I thought this was cute and funny. It appears that the survey was off mark in the southeast. Then again, isnt’ everything? We had a few chuckles.
Yeah, and there’s not much on there about Yooper-isms like “ay?” and “ya!” And then there are my relatives from Tennessee who refer to every kind of soda as “Coke”.
Relative: “Do you want a Coke?”
Me: “Sure”
Relative: “What kind do you want?”
Me: “Uh, Diet Coke if you have it.”
Relative: “All we have is orange and Mountain Dew.”
Me: “Huh???”
