    I’m from the green zone but it should be blue honestly. Where even is the blue on this map?

      You can’t see it because this is a photo from a book that was released back in like 2013 with a ton of various images that more better utilized the colors.

      Example:
      h7Hmsr3uUOGcue9.jpg

      OP’s image must have been stolen and reuploaded again and again and again to get us where we are today.

        Not just that, there is a neat quiz that tries to predict where you are from, based on how you pronounce various words!

        (I see that it is now behind a paywall… 😞)

      There’s a tiny community in Wisconsin that has the Delco accent. It’s there.

      Why is blue in the key when there’s no blue on the map?

      Probably a city that is too hard to make out with so few pixels. I would assume Boston, because it would be Boston.

      Or maybe they included it because some areas have marry pronounced differently, but forgot to include one for Mary being pronounced differently.
