Spelling by State

Google is used for spelling verification... a lot... by me.
Google tabulated what the most spell check word was in each state for 12 months.

Delaware says what now?

BigV · 07-30-2015, 10:46 PM

yeah, I don't know that word.

and "paran" what is that? vacuum is kinda hard.

but seriously. "gray" "grey"? this needs spelcheck?

They probably had Paronychia show up in some school and everybody rushed to Google.

Undertoad · 07-30-2015, 11:20 PM

Just realized - Louisiana was actually trying to look up "Paronychia" too, they just couldn't remember the second half of the word.

The PA NY NJ area's fascination with Jewish Holidays is somewhat perplexing.

Heavy concentration of Jews, with non-Jewish friends who want to email greetings rather than buy cards from printers who already checked with Google. Then add the fact there's more than one acceptable spelling, and the bar bet crowd are whipping out their smartie phones in droves.

The neighboring town growing up was Gray, and I blame that for my own confusion over gray/grey.

Why is Hawaii concerned about Pterodactyls?
