Strong Language"This is not about encouraging rudeness or bad behaviour, but rather celebrating diversity and just acknowledging that swearing is, for a lot of people, a day-to-day part of life"
Linguists at University of Sheffield study regional insults and swear words:

Despite being an American I’ve always pronounced Baptist as [ˈbæp̚.tɪst] (that’s voiceless unaspirated [t] not [tʰ]) but recently I’ve heard family members (especially those with Southern roots) pronounce it as [ˈbæːb.ⁿdɪst]. After listening to other Southern preachers pronounce it in the second way, I’ve come to conclude that this must be a very Southern American form of pronouncing it that has migrated to the North through families and churches.

Head·word /ˈhedˌwɜː(ɹ)d/ n.Since learning the South Jutlandic dialect of Danish from my wife, I've always been aware that – compared to standard Danish – many final syllables are omitted, so they rely much more on tone and length to distinguish words.
I've recently found a verb that is conjugated entirely through tones and lengths. ‘at vende’ – ‘to turn’:
vende – /vɛ̌nː/
vender – /vɛ̂n/ or /vɛn̰/
vendte – /věːn/
vendt – /vêːn/ or /vḛːn/

Alan McConchieI was interviewed in @WillametteWeek about the @pop_vs_soda map I made a million years ago: https://www.wweek.com/drink/2024/04/18/do-you-say-pop-or-soda/
I guess it's about time to create a Mastodon account for that project...

The epic linguistic map came up in conversation at work today, so today is one of those days to regularly to pause and spend some time admiring this map of North American English dialects by Rick Aschmann:
