This is a linguistic survey attempting to collect vocabulary and pronunciation data for all types of English around the world. It maps the responses using the google maps engine, which allows for interactive manipulation of the maps: zooming in, moving across the globe, and so on. Currently the maps plot 50,000 responses from the United States. I did my Masters thesis and some other research papers on some of these very questions. Please help them out and take the survey.

For all of you character haters out there, here’s a different twist on it. I worked on the intelligent search engine in XP that returned tasks in addition to search results, along with, yes, an animated character, so I’m not completely unbiased myself.
