I like the detail of this map better, though it is still overly broad (not accounting for AAVE or other minority groups, and not differentiating on age): https://aschmann.net/AmEng/

Not a map, but if you want better spoken examples of various accents and dialects, this is a great source: https://www.dialectsarchive.com/united-states-of-america

This looks awesome! Which TUI framework are you using (if any)?

Questionable loan words, highly technical terms, and Scots all appear to be in the dictionary. Happy hunting

I haven't had to write in a news style too often, but headlines (from AP guidelines at least) are meant to stand entirely on their own and without context.

While I agree that language can and should change, the use of hyperbole, slang, or cliches in a headline can negatively impact the clarity of the headline, which is most important.

Does something like decimate or carnage have two widely accepted meanings now? Then as an editor, I would caution against their use in a headline. Something like "Hundreds sickened in suspected mass food poisoning at New Zealand university" seems fine and is without clickbait.

So when Gandalf said "fly, you fools" to the fellowship, he was ordering them to sprout wings and fly away?

Flounders are born symmetrical; eye migration happens as they transition to the juvenile stage of growth.

I'm so glad my favorite moth, the rosy maple moth (the pink and yellow one with a mullet) was in this picture.

At least link to the original video and author (Natural Habitat Shots) instead of a crappy aggregator account:

The imperial system doesn't have any electromagnetism units that I'm aware of, so they borrow from SI.

I think the semicolons are correct too (though the colon you mentioned would add a lot of clarity). This grammar rule comes up infrequently enough that it can be jarring to encounter a semicolon before reaching the end of a properly formed independent clause.

Yes he definitely was, but I guess studios weren't ready for the implication of mice-like creatures bring birthed from human vaginas.

Either ambient instrumental music (lots of Brian Eno) or any music that I know all the words to (so that my brain doesn't have to actively process the lyrics).
