I think my mish-mash of dialects caused the poor program to blow a fuse. It came up with Fremont, San Jose, and Honolulu.


Honolulu? That's stellar!

I got Worcester, Boston, and Providence. So, pretty much dead-on. And it didn't even have any questions about the use of the word 'wicked'.

I think I caused it to blow a fuse like mhwombat, I got Honolulu, Clayton, and Rochester.

New York, Yonkers and Jersey City here. It would be interesting if they expanded this beyond the USA.

It definitely would be interesting to see it expanded to other countries!

I posted it here mainly because I've heard people insist that the U.S. doesn't have dialects, which, of course, simply isn't true.

I can understand the older people very well, but for some reason, despite being a reasonably fluent English speaker, it's hard for me to make out what the young guy with glasses is saying. :dhera:
