Warning: What you’re about to read may cause the people around you to look at you like you’re losing your mind. You might want to let them know that you’re about to start talking to yourself … or not. You can always just see how long it takes them to notice.

Ready?

Here goes.

Say the following words out loud:
County
Dog
Florida
Water

If you grew up in western Sullivan County, chances are pretty high that you just said:
Cow-nee
Dahg
Flohr-ih-duh
Waw-tur

If you grew up in eastern Sullivan County, on the other hand, chances are equally high that you just said:
CownT-ee
Dawg
Flah-rih-duh
WahT-uh

Here's your assignment.

You've got all four words: county, dog, Florida, water.

Take them out for a stroll around the county. See if you can figure out where people grew up. Just don't tell them you're keeping score.
