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.
