Harvard Dialect Survey

The Harvard Dialect Survey is fascinating, even with the maps currently disabled.  The questions made me consider things that I have not previously, and I was unfamiliar with many of the choices provided.  The survey asks you to answer based on what you grew up with.  What is most interesting to me is that I have changed 15 percent of these (18 out of 122) as a teenager or adult, generally consciously.  Check it out.  (Note: Do not use a secure password, as your username and password are displayed in the address window.)
