I feel that it ought to be updated. I recently read a different article that pointed out certain words that only certain areas use. (For instance, tolo, or in most of the country, a Sadie Hawkin's dance.)
"I've got dreams like you--no really!--just much less, touchy-feeley.
They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny
on an island that I own, tanned and rested and alone
surrounded by enormous piles of money." -Flynn Rider, Tangled

Apparently I speak most like those from Indianapolis, Springfield in Missouri and Honolulu! But I'd never say highway - we use motorways in the UK ;)

Yonkers, Jersey City, and New York.

I didn't know "sneakers" was an Ny-thing. But I'd say that's accurate xD Funny though, I was hoping I'd get some Southern states since y'know...I've been living here for 10 years, guess not!
