      I know this has been brought up 500 times before, but apparently we love this ****.

      22 Maps That Show How Americans Speak English Totally Differently From Each Other

      Everyone knows Americans don't agree on pronunciations. That's great, because regional accents are a major part of what makes American English so interesting.








      This is my favorite one:

        We called them crayfish in elementary school, but as food I reference/read it as crawfish.

            I worked with a woman at my last job who swore up and down that "car-mels" were the harder candies (individually wrapped) and "car-a-mel" was the more liquid caramel like topping for ice cream or in a Caramello. She could not be convinced otherwise.

              Disappointed it didn't have a map for the proper pronunciation of "Carnegie". All my life I have pronounced it like 'car-NAY-gie' and even went to school with someone with that last name and never heard it pronounced any other way. Though apparently some people pronounce it like 'CAR-ne-gie'. Wasn't until I was at my (then) future college for a sneak peak visit and I was walking with the guy who was hosting me (from Rochester, NY) and his friend (from Latrobe, PA), and the friend was asking me how to pronounce "Carnegie". The host pronunced it the second way while the friend pronunced it the 1st way (same as me).

                The "address two or more people" one forgot "yinz".

                As in.

                  Guy next to me in my dorm used Yinz instead of Y'all. He was from Pittsburgh. Took some getting used to.

                    I always hated whenever people said "car-NAY-gie", because it just sounds so weird. I've also never been one to put emphasis on words like "literally". I say "lit-er-a-lly". Some people say "litch-er-ally".

                                "You guys" is the sign that I'm being sarcastic over the Internet . I say it a lot on twitter but never in real life.
