It was great that one of the comments was "Common everywhere except the Great Lakes Regions"!

I guess I've lived near St. Louis too long. I must be losing my Chicago roots. TBH, I've seen tests like this before that are far more accurate.

How do you pronounce creek?

Sounds like meek
Sounds like kick
I say "brook"
Don't know


Loved this one. I grew up in Black Creek, population 1200. And it's funny, depending on which side of town you live on, it is said differently. We lived on the north side and said Black Creek and then moved to the south side (a whole 10 blocks) and it was said Black Crick. A guy at work picks on me for this all of the time.

It depends on the size of said creek...

crick creek then.

Small creeks are crick creeks, larger creeks are creek creeks.

i.e. Token Creek (crick) and Johnson Creek (creek)
