My favorite part of the quiz is that my result is very near to "you're from the US" with the exception that it is quite certain that I am not from "nahlens" (New Orleans). It's neat to see my choice to deliberately use certain words/pronunciations confusing assumptions.

Some that aren't in the NYT data are "innit" and "Origgin" instead of the local native "Oregawn". I also feel like Wednesday could be a strong candidate because around here people call it "wensday" in everyday speach and "wendsday" in formal/professional speech. I'm sure there must be somewhere they actually say "wednessday" or even ESL speakers that use the etymological "ohdinsday"

One that's particularly divisive is "the devil's beating his wife" which is what I choose to call rain coming from a clear sky, but that's a highly localised construction from nowhere near where I'm from. But the moment I heard it I knew it was far better than the "sunshowers" I grew up with because now when it happens I get to have an entire conversation instead of just nodding along with everyone else.
