sargenv Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Oddly enough.... 61% Southern.. a Dixie score.. Not bad for someone from the left coast.. Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubber Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Cain't be right. Must be rigged by Yankees. Only 58% Dixie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 51% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category. I blame my Kentuckian mother for pushing me over the edge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too_Slow Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Gee 65%. Not bad for some one that has lived his entire life in the Detroit Metro area of Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Clearly a piss-poor test. Many of the answers I gave didn't fit in with the "common in Great Lake States". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobert1 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 61% Dixie - and I was born and raised in Ohio !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 46% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category. That's a pretty interesting little survey, I think. I've heard before that the Midwest has the most neutral pronunciation of American english that is found. Very few accents or inflections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Dunlop Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 67% Dixie, but I am more southern than any of ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpolans Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 It's all b.s. if you keep the same answers but keep pressing the "compute" button, the score will change wildly. ...clearly a bit of Yankee trickery... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 68% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score! Born and raised in CA by a mother from Chicago and a father from all over (born in AZ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 It's all b.s. if you keep the same answers but keep pressing the "compute" button, the score will change wildly....clearly a bit of Yankee trickery... I did it, too. I came up as 89% and then 100% Dixie. WTF?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmark Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 78% Dixie, probably because of my bad teeth! Now ya'll don't think the internet would lie, do ya? Born in Connecticut to a couple of yankees, raised in Mesa, AZ, Kinda finished growing up in Florida, Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Califoria, New Yuk, Kansas, and now Wisconsin. I talk such a mixed bunch of different dialects, I don't even understand myself sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmist10 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 100% Dixie - and I live in central Ohio....must be all those summers I spend on the Ohio River close to "West-by-God-Virginia!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 73% Dixie. I found the "common everywhere except the Great Lakes region" answers amusing, as I grew up in Minnesota. Must have been the decade spent living out side the US that threw off the accent, eh. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liota Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 54% Dixie. Why, I do declare that must be rigged by those damned Yankees! Born in CA, due to being a Squid Brat. Raised in Arkansas. Settled in Texas. Not a Yankee bone in my body. I did find the distinctly Texan speech amusing. L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
