Charting the Country

June 8th, 2004 · No Comments

Today I came across two interesting maps that describe cultural differences around the country. Enjoy.

  1. A color-coded map that notes the endings of words used to describe people from each state, such as “Mainers,” “Texans,” and “New Jerseyites.”

  2. A color-coded map that notes the way people across the country refer to soft drinks in a generic way, like “soda,” “pop,” and “coke.” I never understood calling something that wasn’t a Coke “coke,” but at least now I know where those who do it live.
