I just did this and it absolutely nailed it. Pretty interesting.


I live in Canada not far from the Maine border and it pretty much nailed it for me as well.


Yeah, mine ended up pretty firmly in the northeast. My wife pronounces crayon as "crown," and I was happy to find it on this quiz because I thought she was the only one.

#1 - That was the most confusing map I've ever seen, until I saw the image name in the quote string. Liberal vs. Conservative it appears
