    r u gewd at internets??

    The mission: Find the website.

    A year or two ago, I found this awesome little website where you could answer questions like "what do you call a carbonated beverage? Coke/soda/pop?" or "what is the evening meal called? Dinner/supper/other?" and it cataloged where you grew up or were or whatever and it had maps for each of these words showing the regional distribution.

    I've been looking for it again, and I have no idea how to go about finding "that demographic word thing."

    Can you find it? I know you can! First to find it gets to feel an air of superiority and a bonus e-peen boost.

    Xerodok still had a 3 minute response time.

    Thats borderline JEOPARDY speed for an internet forum.

    Alex Trebek is impressed.

    There's more than one way to pronounce coffee?

    asking people here on these forums if they are gwed at internets is like asking kids at the special olympics if they are retarded.
    Those who are will say yes, those who arent will say Yes to fit in.

    We say Caw-Fee here in NM
    i think the only other time i heard it pernounced differently was Caaa-Fey (i guess that would be the Cahfee version)

    also, my last girlfriend referred to all coffee products as 'Starbucks'
