Dialect Survey Results
by Decius at 1:00 am EST, Oct 30, 2002

"What do you call the act of covering a house or area in front of a house with toilet paper?"

A vaugely interesting survey of dialect differences. What is really lacking is interpretation. Some are starkly north/south issues. Others are hard to say. Some might be related to particular european groups or particular marketing campaigns. (Freeway??)

I read an interesting article a few years about about class differences in the US impacting dialect. Do you have a living room or a den? Do you do the laundry to do you do washes? I didn't see either of those in this survey.
