Speaking American by Josh Katz

Did you take one of those online quizzes that tried to guess where you are from based on what you call certain things/places/activities?

If yes, you likely contributed to this book!

Do you call it a firefly or a lightning bug?

Tag sale, yard sale, or garage sale?

Tractor-trailer, semi, big-rig, or 18-wheeler?

I am 100% New England (Boston and Brooklyn thank you!), but a few of my answers had me in Appalachia and the Southeast.  I wonder if this is a result of listening to country music?

Anyway, a quick read that led to a fun conversation while I was making dinner.

Caramel or carmel?
