What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

My Musings

OK…so I found this one over on KineticEnergy and thought that it was fun.

What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

Your Linguistic Profile:

  • 50% General American English

  • 25% Yankee

  • 20% Dixie

  • 0% Midwestern

  • 0% Upper Midwestern

And I think that it actually makes sense! I was born and raised in central New York (lived there until we moved to Maryland when I was in 9th grade) but have lived for the past 20 years (yikes!) in Virginia (and part of that was in southwest Virginia while at Virginia Tech (where I picked up that wonderful phrase y'all)).

That previous sentence had way too many parenthesis in it but I don't feel like going back and fixing it…

Very interesting!
