TFW you hit a couple of the code-switching questions in the U.S. dialect quiz

What is the distinction between dinner and supper?

- supper is an evening meal while dinner is eaten earlier (lunch, for example)

- supper is an evening meal, dinner is the main meal

- dinner takes place in a more formal setting than supper

- there is no distinction; they both have the same meaning

- I do not use the term supper

- I don't use the term dinner

- other

How do you pronounce 'water'?

- Wah-ter

- Wood-er

- Waw-ter

- Something else
