this quiz is good but ONLY if you skip some of the specific terms that it WAY overindexes on based on outdated ideas (for example, "sneakers," "shopping cart" and "highway" are way more universal than it thinks). It also doesn't seem to have a good handle on north florida specifically imo

@kate this quiz thinks I am Californian from SF or LA

@kate "so when this happens, do you call it a normal thing, a quaint thing or a completely insane thing"

@kate telling someone from ohio they talk like they're from michigan is violence

@kate I mean it’s using data from a survey that’s 23 years old

I feel like the Internet has vastly flattened out a lot of the regional wording idiosyncrasies this thing asks about

@kate I think regional pronunciations might still hang on (caramel, pajamas, etc.), but I reckon a lot of these just aren’t used anymore

to pivot to Deltarune, think about how big a deal it was that Susie used “bubbler”
