xkcd does dialect quizzes

Can you do another guide for other accents? I'd like to know what sort of accent I have!

I can do you one better, which is a quiz you can take to see how your responses map.

Some perks of taking the dialect quiz from the post I just reblogged. 1. I know that the mountain lion has about 42 different names, but I've never heard it called a mountain screamer or a catamount before. 2. I call it Halloween Eve. What even is goosy night??? 3. People have a specific term for this? I mean if its raining I just call it rain regardless if its sunny or not. Also, does this mean a fox and monkey are getting married every time this happens?? 4. I call it a roly poly in my head, but when others around I call it a pill bug. And who is calling it a centipede or a milipede? Those are completely different things!! 5. I would call it an easy class....
