Sometimes, I think people are stupid. Other times I know. I saw this nifty little language chart thingy the other day on planet gnome. I thought it was probably biased towards southerners or some such nonsense, and wanted to rant about how ridiculous it was. Well, it gave me entirely different results, so I can still rant about them. I am from Montana, and have spent considerable time in North Dakota (where I now reside). This is what I would consider “Upper Midwest”. Here’s my results

So I guess I’ve been living on the East Coast, with short visits to the midwest. Weirdos.
