Dixie or Yankie

http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/intelli...ixie_quiz.html

The above address has a quiz. Zero percent means you have a yankee dialect and 100 percent means you have a dixie dialect.

I scored 84 percent dixie.

The results may surprise you. They did me. I thought i would socre around 50 percent. Was I erver fooled.

Take the test and let us know what you socred.

83% Dixie

79% dixie. No duh. would probably be more except being an ex army brat i still have some more northern and nationwide influences. Two N'Awlins answers weren't even on there. That long sandwich down here is called a "po-boy". And I remember that little black bug with many legs that rolls into a ball when u touch it (if they're talking the same thing) was called a "milkman". Haven't seen them here in ages.

70% Dixie. A definitive Southern Score.

90% Dixie, but I live in Alabama.........duh!

I'm almost certain that i've already seen this and answered on another thread.

50% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

I don't know what that means for me being German but I guess that matches the English I've learned at school.

48% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

Born in florida, moved to Nebraska and now settled (as settled as one can be at 23 years old) in Michigan.. i guess i'll except that score

"45% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category."

I'm a born and bred Westerner. Got the drawl to prove it. Y'all have a good time now.

Take care
