Your Linguistic Profile: 40% General American English 35% Dixie 10% Yankee 5% Midwestern 5% Upper Midwestern I am sure glad that some of us know how to talk (35% Dixie)!!!!! I am really sorry for the 10% Yankee that Mark has transferred to me. I will try to do better!!
Susan, I was expecting your "Dixie" to be over 50% girl with y'all way down yonder in Virginny...I'm shocked it's only 35%! :) You do get the honors of having the highest percentage overall English that is not the "General American" type, though. :) :)
By the way...are y'all comin' to the Labor Day reunion this year? (thought I'd dust off a little of my "dixie" there) hehe...

I can't believe after all the time we've talked that my midwestern didn't corrupt you! Maybe I'll take the test!

Mark,
I would have expected your "Dixie" to be higher. What's up with that?? :)
Several of the questions had answers leaning toward Dixie but I still use the Yankee version. Had to keep the Dixie as low as I could!
