A few of my friends posted this on their Facebooks and so I decided to check it out and then post it here ‘cause it’s pretty freaking snazzy. I found the link to the whole data set here.

Some of the interesting ones to me:

• I pronounce “crayon” like “cran” (rhymes with “can”), which is the common pronunciation in Minnesota/Wisconsin/Michigan/that region.
• I pronounce “realtor” as “reel-uh-ter,” which is a little more common in the Midwest/upper south.
• I pronounce “roof,” “room,” “broom,” and “root” with the same vowel sound, which is very common in the south and New England.
• My “route” rhymes with “out” and that would probably get me beat up in New England, who strongly prefers that it rhyme with “hoot.”
• I say “garage sale” rather than “yard sale” or “rummage sale.” Garage sale is common in Tornado Alley.

Cool stuff!
