RESEARCHERS from the University of Leeds have launched a big project aimed at sharing and recording the different dialects (local form of a language) across England.
In the 1950s and 1960s, a team from the university travelled around the country to record the different language and lifestyles of different communities.
Now, a new digital survey has been created so that anyone can take part. The project is part of the Great Big Dialect Hunt, which encourages the public to explore dialects from Cornwall to Cumbria and also share new words and phrases from the 21st century.
Do you brew, mash, soak or wet a cuppa to have with your roll, bun, bap or cob?
Researchers want any suggestions of things you say where you come from, in the hope they can โpreserve todayโs language for future generationsโ.
You can explore the project at dialectandheritage.org.uk.

Tea- just sounds like the drink, so in my opinion, I chose dinner. Dunno about you but my mum doesnโt have tea in the evening

Dinner is the easier word to say as tea can also mean the drink. Also, dinner is the more commonly used name.

I definitely call it supper... but I said dinner anyway. Tea is the toast or cake you have at five o'clock if you're being a bit old-fashioned. I have Tea on my birthday.

In my family, we call the main meal dinner and the little snack after tea, or supper! Tea and supper can also be used for a small dinner, or that we have late in the night! :)

To be honest I would normally say whichever came to my mind first. It really doesn't bother me

I call it Dinner if itโs cooked and a good size ; tea if itโs smaller and less of the food is cooked.But sometimes I say whichever one I think of first.

Tea is the drink as well so I just call it dinner. It just sounds right to me.

I call it dinner because for me, tea is more of an afternoon snack or break, whereas an evening meal is a proper main course and hot food, so I call it dinner.

I call my last meal dinner, because tea is more of an after school snack.
