From the creator of the New York Times dialect quiz that ignited conversations about how and why we say the words we say, a stunning and delightful exploration of American language

Did you know that your answers to just a handful of questions can reveal where you grew up? In December 2013, Josh Katz released an interactive dialect quiz in the New York Times that became the most viewed page in the paper's history. Now a graphics editor, Katz harnessed the overwhelming response to that quiz to create Speaking American, an extraordinary and beautiful tour through the American vernacular.

How do you pronounce "pecan"? What do you call a long sandwich with varieties of meats and cheeses? Do you cut the grass or mow the lawn?

The answers to these questions--and the distinctions they reveal about who says what and where they say it--are not just the ultimate in cocktail party fodder; they are also windows into the history of our nation, our regions, and our language. On page after page, readers will be fascinated and charmed by these stunning maps of how Americans speak as they gain new insights into our language and ourselves.

For fans of Eats, Shoots and Leaves and How the States Got Their Shapes, Speaking American is an irresistible feast of American regional speech.

My dogs think these are actual steak bites
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: 1.5 Pound (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried a lot of treats and my dogs usually get bored after a while, but they go crazy every single time I grab this bag. The pieces are soft and easy to break apart, which is perfect for training or smaller bites. I also like that they don’t smell horrible like some jerky treats do. My picky dog even listens better when I have these in my pocket, so that says a lot. Great size bag for the price and they stay fresh — definitely a repeat buy in our house.

Good if your dog’s not picky
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I ordered two treats. One was the beef because thought I’d give it a try. It looks good. Smells good, but not a hit with my dogs. It’s really soft and they like just a little bit harder too, but for little dogs are medium that are not too picky. I would definitely get this for them if they want something other than a chicken treat.

Perfect for small dogs!
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 55 Count (Pack of 1)
My toy poodle loves these little sticks. They are small and easy for him to chew, and he loves the peanut butter flavor. The twists are high quality, according to my pup! He gets one a day, and he looks forward to treat time. The snack is perfect for a treat because it does not keep him from eating his food.
