Because I’m a language geek

A few years ago, Harvard did a survey of a whole bunch of people across the US, asking them how they said different words. And I found a website where you can take the same survey, and I did.

Here’s how I pronounce things.

Turns out, my dialect is 52% popular. Would you believe, most people say “sir-up” not “sear-up”?

It’s too bad he didn’t ask about “bagel.” :-)
