Can I admit I’ve seen a few but I don’t remember where? I think at least one was either in Ohio or South Carolina. Very specifically NOT allowed to get out of your vehicle to grab something.

Every time I take this or something like it, it is wildly confused because I use terms like attercop but don't live in Appalachia. I just like the word.

I've done this before, but am still in awe of how fucking specifically accurate it is. I grew up in the Fort Lauderdale suburbs.

With as much as I have moved around the country, this was going to be the only result, although maybe a bit further west than I expected. I spent time in SD, but not as much as other regions.

My map of regional dialect. The regions most similar to my dialect is the Midwest and the Deep South. The regions least similar are Hawaii, NOLA, Miami, most of PA, all of NJ, NYC and Downstate, Connecticut, RI, and NH.

That’s interesting. That’s the most spread out red I’ve ever seen.

I don't think I've stayed in any one place for more than five years at a time. Growing up in a military family, I split my time in multiple states my first 18 years, going to seven schools in 12 years. After graduating, I found myself moving a lot because I couldn't find a place to settle.

I will say it's weird that my dialect is closer to Georgia and most of Florida (I did live in Central Florida for ~3 years) and not South Carolina where I spent about a decade.
