Default Re: The variety of English

This study done by a Harvard professor is pretty interesting...it has a geographic breakdown of the different dialects of American English.

I was surprised by some of the results, for example there are a few areas in the US where folks say "you lot" (instead of "you guys"), which to me sounds strictly BrE.
