Even students from the Tri-state area used different terms. For example, I had always considered a sandwich a \u201csub\u201d whereas my friend from New Jersey called it a \u201choggie\u201d. Over the years it was interesting to see how different words varied, even in near proximities.\u00a0Speaking about differences between states, I recently I read an article about <a href=\"http:\/\/swiftkey.com\/en\/blog\/the-united-states-of-emoji-which-state-does-your-emoji-use-most-resemble\/\" >SwiftKey<\/a>, the maker of the keyboard apps. Swiftkey conducted a study that analyzed the most popular emojis in each state. I had no idea what Connecticut\u2019s would be however, I was surprised. Want to take a guess?

The most popular emojis in Hawaii included the surfer, rainbow, waves, pineapples and the volcano, all of which make sense. Why is Connecticut the koala?? Don\u2019t get me wrong, I think koala\u2019s are adorable, but since when is Connecticut that similar to Australia?!? I will be thinking about this over the next few days.
