Having linguistics training and a hobby interest in dialects of English, wondering around downtown Wellington, NZ listening to people talk is fascinating. Naturally a variety of NZ dialects, Australian, Indian, North American dialects, and that’s just in 24 hours. 🙂 #NewZealand #EnglishDialects

@yvanspijk I've been enjoying your language infographics!
Here's a puzzler: do you have any idea where the pronunciation in some US English accents of the word "across" as "acrost" comes from? As in "I haven't come acrost that before?"
What drives such a pronunciation to occur? Is it an #eggcorn? "I haven't come a crossed that before?" (Maybe borrowing from archaic "I'll go a-walking"?)

Cornell University: Amazon’s AI assistant struggles with diverse dialects, study finds. “A new Cornell study revealed that Amazon’s AI shopping assistant, Rufus, gives vague or incorrect responses to users writing in some English dialects, such as African American English (AAE), especially when prompts contain typos.”

@punkonbus1701 I find it odd that folks here use the term ‘multiple-choice’ quiz or poll to say that the respondents can choose more than one answer. Usage where I attended university and school was that a ‘multiple-choice test’ describes a test where, for each question, you choose one correct answer from a list of possible ones. #Englishdialects
