This quiz, “How Y’all, Youse and You Guys Talk” aimed to answer the question “What does the way you speak say about where you’re from?” In less than a dozen days, the quiz received more traffic than any other article on “The New York Times” launched during the entire year.
In fact, OkDork reports that over the last several months 8 of the 10 world’s most shared articles were quizzes.
