Also Sahara desert, which is literally the biggest example.

It’s really a personal judgement, mostly based on the level of separation and protection on the route. At the moment I colour code the routes as red, orange, and green. The green, the highest quality routes, are really easy to capture. At the other end of the spectrum, red “routes” where there’s just nothing there, those are really easy to capture, too – I try to avoid highlighting those, but sometimes they’re the only way of getting between two points. Everything else is sort of in a bundle in the middle.
My ideal thing would be for people to come along and rate each section on a 1 to 5 scale, and then just use the average number. That’d be less arbitrary and would be a helpful resource to feed back to TfL and councils.

This is fascinating. I nearly put it in the jkr/dialogue thread as I've been think a lot about how Margery Allingham captured a specific Essex/Suffolk country accent in one of the Campion books, an accent that probably no longer exists.Last edited by Levin; 19-10-2020, 19:42.

Rhotic means you pronounce the "r" in words like arm, hard, far.
To me I most associate this (in English) with Scottish people, even though I'm from the South West (just) - too young, apparently, not something I get to say often these days.
edit: I mean pronounce it as an "r" rather than just using it to change how the vowel sounds, which is how am vs arm in most English (in England) dialects changes.

Have I ever shared this? Andrew Clem's amazingly detailed maps of baseball parks. Great for historians, nerds, nerd-historians, me. Also good for American football fans, since most NFL teams played in baseball parks up to the 70s (if not longer -- eg the 49ers), there's a lot of info in there on the sometimes creative fits they resorted to to wedge in an NFL field.
