Yeah, I was super disappointed. They even seem to be trying to make some "southerners are dumb" jab since they color code based on misspelled word length which just happens to create a big red cluster over the south. As if word length is a strong indicator of spelling difficulty. Asking how to spell "grey/gray" is a legitimately interesting question!
- iambateman 9y agoGotta say, I'm from South Carolina and I was pretty proud that we got "Chihuahua". ;)
- vinay427 9y agoI agree that the metric is awful for any reasonable interpretation that a viewer would make. However, they managed to make Texas, Missouri, West Virginia, and Connecticut stand out, with Oregon and Rhode Island being coastal states that also fared poorly, so the possible conclusions about the "south" from this map aren't obvious to me.
