What’s Appening – Word Map Quiz and Bird Identification App

Depending on where you live, or where you’re from, you may have a different dialect that someone else.

We’re have fun with words in today’s What’s Appening segment. WBOC’s Director of Digital Media, Ethan Holland, joins us talk about a word map quiz.

Jimmy and Lisa take the quiz and we analyze their results. You answer a series of questions about the words you use and then it shows you a map with how you relate to others who have taken the quiz. When you complete the quiz, the results show you the top three areas in which your answers relate to in the United States.

Take the word map quiz yourself here.

Did the results match where you are from? Jimmy’s results were very close to where he grew up!

Ethan also talks about a birding app, which bird watchers on Delmarva would appreciate. You take a picture of a bird you want to identify and then answer a few questions. The app shows you results and gives you more information about the bird.
