Quizzage

[akujunkan]

I'm not completely happy with this quiz because the deciding factors between the various dialects were yes/no questions, and I use both of the options regularly on all but one of the questions. Still, it was interesting nonetheless.

Your Linguistic Profile:

70% General American English

15% Yankee

5% Dixie

5% Midwestern

5% Upper Midwestern

What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

That will be all.

Mine came out pretty good (it's posted in my journal) - a hint of my early Midwestern years with the greater concentration reflecting the years here in New England. My daughter took it afterward, and she was 45% General and 45% Yankee, so she clearly shows she's born and raised here in Connecticut. Could have been a little more inquiring but a cute quiz nonetheless! :-)

Shit, clicked post before I finished my comment.

Wtf is a dixie?

I'm not from up north so I have no idea why I'd be a Yank but the rest of it seems pretty much correct.

Dixie I think is anything below the Mason-Dixon line, which I think includes you, being in FL and all.

Like I said, it was a fun quiz, but it could have been more accurate;)

Oh geez. It seems Florida has infected me, once and for all... I'm a... Floridian. *shivers*

You'd think after 10+ years it would have sunk in, eh? Hehe.
