  • 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

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

  • ‘It was carnage’: students describe suspected mass food poisoning at New Zealand university
  • 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.
