Aztec Calendar - Learn how the Aztecs
measured time
"There is not just one Aztec calendar, there are two more or less independent
systems. One calendar, called the xiuhpohualli, has 365 days. It describes the days and
rituals related to the seasons, and therefor might be called the agricultural year or the
solar year. The other calendar has 260 days. In Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, it is
called the tonalpohualli or, in English, the day-count. Most information on this
Internet-site refers to the tonalpohualli, which is the sacred calendar.."

Regional American English
Dictionary
"The Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE) is a reference tool
unlike any other. Its aim is not to prescribe how Americans should speak, or even to
describe the language we use generally, the "standard" language. Instead, it
seeks to document the varieties of English that are not found everywhere in the United
States--those words, pronunciations, and phrases that vary from one region to another,
that we learn at home rather than at school, or that are part of our oral rather than our
written culture. Although American English is remarkably homogeneous considering the
tremendous size of the country, there are still many thousands of differences that
characterize the various dialect regions of the United States."
