A post on Jess’s blog pointed me at this test. Its a fun bit of fluff, but it has one thing wrong with it. The question on what you call a water fountain should also include the term bubbler which is popular in Wisconsin. Although, I’m not sure where it would fit into the categories it puts your speaking style into.
