    Two of my three "least similar" were places (very near where) I've lived, and two of my three "most similar" were places I've never even come close to.

    Funny enough, the city apparently #1 most similar to my speech pattern is Overland Park, Kansas, which is hilarious as I doubt I've ever been within 400 miles of there.

    As a Londoner, I'm apparently based on the West Coast.

    Wait.. "cot" and "caught" have different pronunciations?

    I went through the questions and when I first saw the results I was impressed, but then I realized the "most similar" covered about 75% of the u.s. For my results it basically just made the confederate states least similar and everywhere else dark blue. Guess I'm a Yankee.

    Why doesn't English have a plural you like German? Do the other Germanic languages have plural you?
