Dialect Quiz

[busdepot]

Girlfriend sent me this. Kind of interesting where you pick up words and pronunciations from. Only US cities, but you get the idea.

Mine were Seattle, New Orleans and New York. None of which are surprising but were surprising at the same time. Seattle is much like here so our vocabulary would be similar. I spent my summers in Quebec as a kid 45min from the NY state border. My parents lived in Houston for 5 years.

Check it out and post your results. Or don't. IDGAF

Someone from NS told me that dinner = lunch and supper = evening meal? Or maybe the opposite of that? I always thought they were interchangeable or dinner is more formal than supper.

Lunch can be lunch or dinner
Supper can be also be dinner
Hence the confusion here
