What I am interested in is to see if frum Jews "out of town" will give false positives for NY dialects.

That's great. Now it would be more interesting to the rest of us if you could share with us what it is.

+1
But when I did it again and deliberately answered how I know the real local dialect is, not how I call things (eg soda vs pop, supper vs dinner) they got it close enough but not exact.

Shouldn't be because this is more than pronunciation; it's specific words/phrases based on geographical area.

Yeah, no kidding. And frum Jews often use words and phrases that are not consistent with local usage. That supper/dinner question is a case in point.

LOL.  I've always been told I'm a hard one to read.  They were sure off with me. 
I carefully answered honestly, yet I nor anyone from any older generation is even close to any of these places.  My map.
