US folk: map your language use

U.S. language research!

It's happening now:

I answered fifty questions and they really made me think. The survey offers various vocabulary and pronunciation options--you can choose one or all, and add chatty comments.

Based on the first box you tick, the survey shows a "heat map" (inaccessible to screen readers) where they think you're from.

Not surprisingly, my language is mixed: most often from Wisconsin and Boston-area.

Of course they need numbers underneath to draw the heat maps, so why couldn't they offer the numbers directly????

(I'm guessing, N Central Wisconsin, but I'm risky like that.)
