This is supposed to be a spelling blog, but who can resist this interesting and interactive website from Yale University?
This research group at Yale has developed a map of the US using what they call "microsyntax": regional grammatical and usage idiosyncrasies. It is really fun to take a look at what passes for normal in other parts of the country....of course, I make fun of other parts of the country tongue in cheek, since I hail from the land of "a Whole Nother Thing" and presently live in a state where directional signals seem to be very, very optional.
Scroll around and take a look. Have fun! And maybe we'll have to add "anymore" to the next word list.
Props to Visual Thesaurus for the interesting lead.
