I’ll Have a Hoagie and a Soderpop

This is a lovely video that brings to life the NC State dialect map project we talked about a few months back. I’ve only lived in New York three years and the other day I caught myself asking a man in a bodega if he was “on line”; for a few seconds after the incident I experienced something like a brief existential crisis. (Also, apparently in some places in the South a “sunshower” is referred to as “the Devil is beating his wife,” may this not catch on.) [via]
