Neither the map nor the links work for me.

 

[Technosteve]

A DWI enablement station.

The fuvk mate? Are the beers chilled?

 

[Khezu]

Interesting, the devils night question kinda makes it super easy to guess where I'm from though.

 

[elrechazado]

No soda or pop question. Fail

 

[Valhelm]

waaaaaaa no map

Those of you who can see the map, what browser are you using?

 

[I'm an expert]

No soda or pop question. Fail

It was there for me. Don't know why though, soda is the only answer.

 

[StopMakingSense]

No soda or pop question. Fail

? Yes there was.

 

[Bread]

Boston, Worchester, Providence.

Not bad considering I live in Maine! Dunno if they had any places in Maine even registered heh.

Rotary gave it away.

Yea with 25 questions it seems like it should be pretty obvious where you're from, not very surprising. Some of my friends from the south shore/cape cod say bubbler or something weird when talking about water fountains, I wonder if the results would be different or if it would just do those same 3 cities. I was hoping for something more specific than worcester/boston/providence, there are a ton of different dialects within that area.

 

[Fury Sense]

firefox 28.0a2


^^ It doesn't ask every question every time

 

[elrechazado]

It was there for me. Don't know why though, soda is the only answer.

Weird, I answered all 25 never saw it

 

[OceanicAir]

There are more questions if you take the test more than once, I think the questions are randomized.

Also no map for me

 

[I'm an expert]

Weird, I answered all 25 never saw it

Just means the pool of questions is more than 25.

 

[teh_pwn]

Nailed it. You could almost see Tennessee on the map with Nashville & Knoxville in deep red.

 

[Bread]

I'm on firefox on my phone and the map loaded after I waited 20 seconds.

 

[MarzipaNMOS]

holy fuck no map fuck NYT

but srsly no map

 

[Smellycat]

My map isn't showing.

 

[Sobriquet]

Took it twice and it doesn't work for me. No map at the end. Even the share links don't do anything.

Fuck it.

Same.

I really want to know, too. I've lived all over the US, and have picked up bits and pieces of dialect from everywhere.

 

[I'm an expert]

On IE11 it took like 5 mins to load, I just left the tab open.

 

[teh_pwn]

I'm on firefox on my phone and the map loaded after I waited 20 seconds.

Same. OP should be updated.

 

[Makai]

You just have to wait a little for it to show up.

 

[freakk5]

Pretty neat.

 

[Sobriquet]

The fuvk mate? Are the beers chilled?

Of course.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Finally worked using IE. Try that if you want to see your map.

 

[StopMakingSense]

waaaaaaa no map

Those of you who can see the map, what browser are you using?

It takes like 20 seconds for the map to generate sometimes. I'm sure whatever server they are using to process the image building is getting hammered right now.

 

[Ghazi]

Mine was completely wrong haha, I'm on the other side of the states. I answered completely truthfully as well, but I'm not a native, so that may have thrown it off.

San Jose, Fremont, and Honolulu. lol

 

[GoldenEye 007]

It pinpointed Virginia Beach, Orlando and Richmond, VA.

I have lived in Orlando for the last 7 years now but I'm from Kansas. There was a lot of red in Kansas on the map but I guess not enough. Pretty neat, though. I've never been to VA.

 

[chaosblade]

Not quite. It has the suggestions a couple states off, all of them were in North Carolina and I've only been there once.


Edit: I got it to show the map by clicking a share link from someone else. Just appeared after that.

 

[Miggytronz]

Though I was born in Puerto Rico and was raised there for 6 years. I've lived in Va Beach VA for 24 years. This test definitely nailed my location. I don't have a Spanish accent one bit and it's more countryish. Throws people off a lot.

 

[Darksol]

This thing is surprisingly good. I live in southern Ontario (Canada) and it pegged me for Buffalo, NY, which is less than 200 miles from here. Holy fuck.

 

[Enkidu]

Since I'm not actually from the US the map is a bit meaningless but still pretty cool I guess.

 

[Curiocity]

Result: Seattle.
I'm from: Seattle (area).

Bahahahaha.

 

[JLG-]

Wat the fucking fuck. Where is the goddamn map?? Waste of time!

 

[Htown]

tried again, still no map, NYT sucks

 

[Czigga]

worked on my phone got my SoCal right.

http://nyti.ms/1l6FSUA

pretty interesting from looking at others maps how different terms have different splits. not all just east west or southern.

 

[rrs]

It guessed too far up north, but it could be college messing with it.

 

[Unicorn]

Didn't get mine. Lexington KY is close to where my parents are from (a few hours or so), but I'm a desert rat. I feel good beating the system.

For those on mobile, open the Facebook share link icon with a new tab.

 

[Spanx McFranks]

I got Newark/Paterson, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. I am born and raised in north Texas and have never been to anywhere close to those places. I have always been told by people from outside of Texas that I have no accent though.

 

[Trey]

It got mines exactly. I think the "pop" answer tipped them off.

 

[TheOMan]

All those questions and no map. Lame.

I'm French.

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

No map on my cell, no map on my PC. Waste of time.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Guys, you have to wait for the map to show up. It can take as long as like 20 seconds, at least.

 

[Izayoi]

No map at the end and the share link doesn't work.

Pretty sure it'd be able to pin-point me, though, based just off of the "cougar or mountain-lion question." Washington state was the only place on the map that was red. I never knew!

Edit: There should be a disclaimer in the OP about waiting for the map to show. I did it three times and exited out of my last attempt before reading SMS' post. Oh well.

 

[Poltergust]

Odd, it put me in the New England area when I grew up in South Florida (which was only barely red).

 

[woolley]

Eastern PA, but they could've just asked the hoagie question and would know exactly the area I would live.

 

[NYR94]

How do you pronounce them?

Well I'm from Long Island so this is how they're said around here:

Mary is pronounced like scary.

marry is pronounced like Harry.

merry is pronounced like berry.

 

[Ryce]

son of a bitch

This is exactly what I got.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Eh, kinda inaccurate for me. I'm originally from Philly and currently live in Virginia Beach,VA. The three cities it gave me were Arlington, Baltimore, and Richmond. I guess it hinted on the Virginian dialect I picked up. Nobody I know calls a sub a hoagie except me lol.

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

Well I'm from Long Island so this is how they're said around here:

Mary is pronounced like scary.

marry is pronounced like Harry.

merry is pronounced like berry.

So they're all pronounced the same way then.

Guys, you have to wait for the map to show up. It can take as long as like 20 seconds, at least.

Been waiting at least five minutes.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

San Jose, Fremont and Honolulu. Was hoping for New York, but maybe I should reconsider my dream to live there one day. Honolulu it is!
