Here in HI we call it ghost rain. I grew up in Michigan where they are roly polys.

I pronounce the first word in “Bowie knife” as “Bo-wie,” like everyone outside of North Texas and Maryland; given that Jim Bowie pronounced his name “Boo-wie,” they’re right and the rest of us are wrong. This is part of a complete episode. Just lucky I guess. What;’s happening is that the dialects are changing. @Ben: I grew up in Plymouth, MA, and it was the same there. Crayon is such a regional marker that it was included as a question in this popular dialect quiz by Joshua Katz, who also made a bunch of fascinating U.S. language maps. I don’t know why but I was slightly surprised when I learned that air traffic control the world over is conducted in English. People’s sense of themselves and where they’re from is really tied up with how they talk. Also, I think there’s an element of surprise to it. Sharyn Jackson is a features reporter covering the Twin Cities' vibrant food and drink scene. What I call scallions in most of the country are green onions.
We also called the night before Halloween “Devil’s Night,” which I only learned was a Michigan thing when I joined the Air Force. The “cray-on” vs. “cran” debate has continued to rage online thanks to social media and local news coverage like this segment from a station in Florida: BuzzFeed even got in on the action a few years ago: Now don’t get me started on how to say caramel. Here’s a dialect survey map that shows the distribution of these pronunciations.

Yep. As a child I would confuse the saying, turning it into “the devil’s wife is beating him.”, Really weird thing I just realized about myself is that I pronounce the word Pecan differently when I’m talking about the loose nuts (pee-KAHN) and when I’m talking about the flavor (PEE-can pie), In Bawlamer (the big city on the East Coast between Philly and DC), H2O is also “wooder” and people “wersh” with it.

The reason for that is that there is a large suburb of Washington, DC called “Bowie” which is pronounced “Boo-ee”. And of course, the game the rest of the country calls Duck, Duck, Goose. But that’s not the only difference between us Minnesotans and the rest of the country in how we talk. I must admit the “Bowie” map did make me chuckle, specifically seeing the cluster in Maryland that pronounces it correctly.



That’s why, for example, so many of the English language Iraqi bloggers were dentists or physicians. People really find a lot of meaning in it.

KFC 6/06/2013 1:30 PM 0 ... And I’m not even gonna address the assholes in Michigan and Minnesota who apparently pronounce crayon “crown.” There’s a reason you two assholes are almost in Canada. Pronouncing H20 as “wooder”, or the linguistic marvel that the first syllable of “hammer” is not pronounced the same as the deli meat “ham” (pronounced “hay-um”) never ceases to amaze me, even though I am a native. Most Americans are under the impression that regional dialects are declining. Purely domestic air traffic dialogue can be in the native language of wherever.
