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.

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?! :blink:

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. :wacko:

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.

Oh, I'm glad I'm not in the land of cotton

Old times there are not forgotten

Get away, get away!

Get away, Dixieland!

Oh, I'm glad I'm not in Dixie!

Get away! Get away!

I'm glad I'm not in Dixieland

I'm glad I'm not in Dixie ...

Get away!

Get away!

Get away from South and Dixie!

Disclaimer: I greatly prefer the south to the north in general, but I think the song is funny anyway.

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.
