This is probably not exactly what you're looking for, but it's a fascinating site nonetheless, and it does give some perspective into the vagaries of English across the US...

This was a comprehensive study done by a Harvard professor to determine on the map where certain phrases and pronunciations were used in the United States.  For example, in the Midwest, what you British call "fizzy drinks" we call "pop", while they call it "soda" in the West and "coke" in parts of the South.   Similar to the geographic differences in the names for a submarine sandwich, hoagie, hero, grinder or torpedo.

thank you so very much!

I am doing research for a HUMOR book to be published next year. We are gathering data on 50 states and quotes and photos. A lot of work but interesting.

Thank you so much.
