So in this video it shows a map and in what parts of the United States what dialects are said for certain words. This was a survey that was through the phone across the country with the person asking questions. The map highlights the certain parts of the country where the responses were most common.
It was really interesting to see what certain parts of the country and how the people say certain words.
For example one of the questions were; What do you call it when the rain falls while the sun is still shining?
For me personally I had no idea there was a certain word that describes the rain falling while the sun is still shining. It was interesting to see what parts of the country said certain things.
That was a really cool video. It's kind of funny how so many different words can mean the exact same thing. And yeah, if someone told me we were having a "sun shower" I would have no idea what they were talking about.
