These accent maps are pretty fun. My accent is apparently all over the place, which I guess makes sense since I spent so many years in schools with people from all over the U.S.
I remember having an argument with someone from Long Island about the differences between merry, marry, and Mary. I assumed then that he was right and I was wrong. BUT I WAS RIGHT FOR MY REGION. We had a similar argument about whether "Aaron" and "Erin" are pronounced the same way. Thanks to these maps, I'm now going to assume that I am regionally justified in pronouncing them the same.
