+1 thumbs upI'm 58% Dixie.  None of the answers seemed to fit one particular region although I'm surprised to learn "Pop" is a "Great Lakes" thing.  I'm glad it didn't go into "Yellow or Yallow" as that's one of thousands similar that Coloradoans embarrassingly mispronounce all the time.  Calling a "pen" a "pin" is another.  Western Coloradoans anyway.  I'm convinced us in the Front Range speak the purest form of English in all the US.

Others that bug me that the quiz didn't cover - do you say "Bag" or "Beg".  "Missouri" or "Missoura"?

48% Yankee...doesn't that make me 52% Southerner?  Whatever...the questions were stupid...90% of them were "commonly used everywhere" regardless of which answer you chose...in which case, they should eliminate the question.  There's been better tests for this...and I generally change every time...maybe on my mood...or who I've been around.  Some day I'll come up with a "are you a fickle yankee, a dumbe dixie, or from the Rocky Mountain Northwest" quiz...but not right now.

85% (Dixie).  Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

 

If Heaven ain't alot like Dixie, I don't wanna go. If Heaven ain't alot like Dixie, I'd just assume stay home.
