everyone knows americans don't agree on pronunciations.. that's great, because regional accents and dialects are a major part of why american english is so interesting.. josh katz, a former ph.d. student of statistics at north carolina state university, published a group of awesome visualizations of professor bert vaux and scott golder's linguistic survey, which looked at differences in american dialects (via detsl on /r/linguistics).. his results were first published on the abstract, the nc state university research blog.
the complete set of katz's maps, updated with the results from more than 350,000 new survey responses, are compiled in the new book "speaking american," publishing october 25 from houghton mifflin harcourt.. katz gave business insider permission to publish some of the coolest maps from his collection..
I would like to know what everyone calls this:
I grew up in the South and we called it a buggy, where I live now, they call it a cart or a shopping cart.
Also, Missouri gal here ... and they say "pop", but I have heard Missourians from the other side of the state call it "soda". In Texas, we called it all "coke" ... as in ... what kind of coke would you like to drink?
just skimming the latest study wt that has been posted and what did i see...?.
i wonder what the message is that they want the flock to take from this picture?.
there is also an article about training younger men to take over responsibilities.
I think the message they will get is ... the Watchtower wants you to dress like your dad, don't use hair gel, and those smart phones look suspiciously worldly, too.
l know animals do it but their animals.they dont live by a moral code.the thought of 2 men going for it is not normal.what are your thoughts?.
My redneck friend always tells me that "normal" is a setting on a clothes dryer. Good advice.
i'm wondering if there are any here that are from new zealand or currently live there.
i'm going to be staying there for a month in july 2017 ... location to be determined.
i would love to have someone i can ask questions while i am in the planning stages.
Awesome! I will be messaging all of you! Thanks for being willing to be a contact while I plan my trip. If I'm able to meet any of you while I'm over there, even better!
finallysomepride ... I was spitting out my drink laughing when I read your cheer for the All Blacks! I had to google it. You would NEVER find a sports team in America called the All Blacks! Haha! I would LOVE to see a rugby game, though!
the healings, feeding the five thousand, walking on water, resurrecting the dead.
none of it happened of course but let's take the bible literally and say that it did.. so?.
didn't magic practicing priests perform 'miracles' in a contest with aaron?
It proves that "tall tales" have existed for a very long time. Maybe Jesus really existed; maybe not. But his greatness has definitely been exaggerated, just like that of Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed in America.

I guess I do have one big question for everyone that I will put there ...
What part of the country is the best part to stay for a first timer? Mind you ... I am not into touristy stuff or hotels. I would prefer to rent a place off of airbnb. I found one place I really like. It's close to Tahuna beach. I want to explore both islands while I'm there, so I was thinking right in the middle of the two islands would be great, but having never been there ... not sure.

Thanks for the tip, Island Man. I am very fair skinned, so I never get tan, I just burn!

I would love to have someone I can ask questions while I am in the planning stages. Best area to stay, etc. I will be a solo traveler for two weeks and then more will join me, so one of the questions I have is whether are any areas that solo travelers should avoid. If you familiar with NZ and wouldn't mind me pm'ing you questions periodically, please let me know!
Thank you for your help!
