Central as in valley, or central as in coast? I understand that someone or other from a UC studies the dialect of the central coast, but I would not be surprised if the same held true for central valley dialect(s).

You'd likely have a hard time communicating in the Patterson household, as Mrs. Skitch is from New Orleans.

Hey, here's a map where the South looks good! And wow, Idaho's not actually the worst Northwest state (or any state) in this category?

How difficult is it to do the mail order bride thing? Someone should find a Romanian(seems to be popular point of origin for mail order brides) with measles and ship em to Oregon, just to teach those hippies a lesson.

I completely disagree with her "meat means mammal" rule, especially when she bends the rules and mentions lobster with regards to Maine. The Northwest has its own special bond with seafood-- otherwise, you're doing it wrong. Washington gets salmon, Oregon gets Dungeness crab, and Idaho gets...caviar. You heard me, caviar.

I live in Canada not far from the Maine border and it pretty much nailed it for me as well.
