An Opportunity for Word Nerds: Beta-Test the Dictionary of Regional English



Just a short note today to let you know of an opportunity to have free online access to the new Dictionary of American Regional English in exchange for your help in vetting it—if you qualify, that is! 

For writers and copyeditors, this compendium of the most colorful variations of American English expression is irresistibly useful and fun.

Allan Metcalf explains how to apply in a post today at Lingua Franca.

Good luck!
