Do you have more of a Yankee dialect or a Southern dialect?
I am 40% Yankee which isn't too bad since I was born in upstate New York. :D

76% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!
:eek: I grew up in PA for most of my life!! :eek:
The south has really caught up with me! hehe ;)
And guess what I scored?
70% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!:D
A bit weird since most of the time I spent in the US, was in Hawaii, San Fran, & Washington DC.:D
53% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.
...considering I'm a Canucklehead.....:D
38% Yankee
Haha, in Wisconsin we use "Bubbler" for a drinking/water fountain when I clicked on that it said "Heavy bias in southern Wisconsin and Massachusetts"- I am in southern Wisconsin, hehehe. :p That made me chuckle. Oh and what kind of sale is in the front yard- I clicked rummage sale it said "Western Great Lakes including Chicago and Milwaukee"- I am 5 min outside Milwaukee, lol.
That test is a good one.
52% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.
Southern by the Grace of God.
70% Dixie
71% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!
60% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.
No Canadian test, eh? :p
48% Yankee, barely into the Yankee category. I guess that makes sense, since I was born in the Midwest - not far above the Mason-Dixon line, in Southern Illinois. I spent 7 years living in Louisiana, including the 4 years I attended LSU, and I picked up a few things down there. I have lived in St. Louis, MO, since July 2003, so I guess I'm swinging back toward Yankee again. Pretty good test - I'll have to pass this one on.
There are a couple things I do that are more Southern, and a couple things I do that are more Northern - for example, I still will say "Y'all" occasionally, just b/c it's easier than saying "You guys" or "You all", but I say it less often than I did when I first moved up here. Interesting.
One of the true tests of where you're from is what you call where you put groceries at the store - I call it a shopping cart, b/c that's what I learned growing up, but down South, most people call them buggies. Hmmm. Interesting thread.
Same result for me. If the test doesn't help you to filter the Germans out then it doesn't help much:DQuote:
