Quiz

Several people have done this quiz now, but I don't believe it:

Your Linguistic Profile:

50% General American English
25% Yankee
10% Dixie
5% Midwestern
5% Upper Midwestern



I am neither Yankee nor Dixie!

Dunno where the Yankee came from (unless that is just the closest to "Canadian" it can get), but the Dixie could be from living in NC for six years. You do tend to pick up things if you're exposed to it frequently enough.

As for the quiz itself...a friend of mine who was a linguistics major says the quiz is terrible. It doesn't account for a lot of variation, and leaves off options on some of the questions.

I agree with your linguistics friend. ;)
