on-line dialect survey (B. Vaux)

[Dale Coye]

I see now I was confused (too hasty in looking it over) -- c and d are not
the same answer...d is for those who merge the vowels of cot and caught...
also there is a race question (optional) when you sign in.   It's tricky to
do this kind of survey as I found several years ago...
