If you look at the concentration of blue in the Bay Area, you can see that they need to add a city to "What is 'the City'?": http://www.businessinsider.com/22-maps-that-show-the-deepest... Hint : It's not San José.

You know, I'm a little surprised that Socal doesn't have a similar concentration around LA.

Georgia has a similar thing going on. Looks like a pretty large radius around Atlanta thinks Atlanta is "the City".
Hmmmm, I didn't realize that "sneakers" instead of "tennis shoes" was a north eastern thing.
That's the term used by zappos.com and rockport.com, for example. "Tennis shoes" is not a category.
I'm also slightly terrified that the vast majority of the country cannot distinguish Mary/merry/marry.

The one about "What word(s) do you use to refer to a group of two or more people" is missing an option or two. I often use "you lot" or "you kids". To be fair, the latter is more of a joking thing, like parting from a group and saying "you kids be good" or whatever. The "you lot" bit is, I'm pretty sure, something I picked up from watching British television. Most people in my neck of the woods say "you all" or "y'al…
What is the difference between "cray-ahn" and "cray-awn"? Note that I pronounce "dawn" = "don". Also, I say crayon as "crown", which either isn't very popular, or they just chose poor colors for the heatmap.

I'm having a hard time trying to pronounce one or more of Mary/merry/marry in any different way... how would one do that?
