    language in the USA

    Dang!

    Check out this language map of the USA.

    My home state, West Virginia, seems to be quite unusual in that every county has over 94% English speakers. The whole darn state is red.

    My current state, California, is quite a patchwork, with only a half-dozen counties with over 94% English speakers.

    What a great map. Very interesting. I think I'll be spending a bit of time looking at it in more detail.

    Interesting, indeed.

    With a degree in geography (albeit rather old) I do have an interest in maps of all sorts.
