Time for a little game of ...



    hich is which?

Take a look at this map. It shows usages for "kitty-corner" and "catty-corner" (along with a couple of minor variations). One is purple and one is red. Do you know which is which?



For other explorations along these lines, see the dialect survey results page I found it from.

I grew up deep in the red territory, and always heard kittycorner, therefore I will assert that kittycorner is red and cattycorner is purple.

I am greatly pleased to have the approval of the mighty and powerful Fflo, thanks to the power of reason!

I am going to say that Purple is right. Because purple is catty corner. and we all know that is right. Because language and dialects are a series of rights and wrongs...
