Yeah, I'm not sure what is up with all of my cities being in Massachusetts.

I do use the term "rotary" and "soda" a lot, so I'm sure that helps. Ditto for hoagie. My second go-around was Philly, Worcester, Boston.

I’ve never been to any of those cities.

I got Baltimore, Arlington, and Washington DC as my three main cities, but the deepest red area on my map runs up from Maryland through south-central PA and then curves up toward Erie. Pretty close.

It seems to me that Pittsburgh and the Midwest states of Nebraska/Iowa have similar dialects. I assume if I actually said yinz in real life and selected that my heat map would have shifted east to Western PA

I got Springfield, Indianapolis, Akron but the deepest red was exactly in the Cambria/Blair county I live in but it yellowed out Pittsburgh because I don't say yinz or pop (though i do somewhat jokingly at times) and I said I don't say hoagie (is that pittsburgh?) though I do occasionally.

Most likely: Fresno, Phoenix, and Chandler, or name three places that I've never visited or flown over.
Least likely: Philly, NYC, and Newark/Paterson, or name three places that I have visited less than twenty times combined.

What's funny is the map is the darkest red around the Pittsburgh/Erie area.
