22 Maps That Show How Americans Talk Differently

A very cool set of maps from Business Insider.

For the record, the correct answers are:

carra-mel
bin
boo-ie knife
cray-ahn
law-yer
slaw
y'all
man-aze
pa-jam-as
pick-AHN
coke
crawdad
traffic circle
sir-up
sub
water fountain
tennis shoes
highway
I have no term for when it rains while the sun is shining
New York or London, depending on the context
I have no special term for drive-through liquor stores
marry/Mary/merry are all pronounced the same

As you'll see, western Kentucky does pretty well across the board.
