(via 22 Maps That Show The Deepest Linguistic Conflicts In America)

Joshua Katz, a Ph. D student in statistics at North Carolina State University, just published a group of awesome visualizations of a linguistic survey that looked at how Americans pronounce words. 

Among the words he maps are crawfish, syrup, caramel, lawyer, mayonnaise and pecan. He also maps regions by how they refer to a carbonated beverage (the age-old soda or pop question) and how people address groups of two or more people — though as someone who spent time in Pittsburgh, yinz seems to be conspicuously absent. — heidi

This is so cool. A couple of the examples don't seem to match up with my experience in the pacific northwest, but generally — SO COOL.

Also, as someone who spent four years in PA—finally, vindication over this whole hoagie business.

This is fascinating. My pronunciation matches the Southeast in all but like two of these (even though I'm the only Southerner in my family).

strange clouds

Various cloud formations might be one of the most beautiful and romantic sights in nature, but these masses of liquid droplets is also a complex and scientifically interesting phenomena.
