My Linguistic Profile

Your Linguistic Profile::
75% General American English
20% Dixie
0% Midwestern
0% Upper Midwestern
0% Yankee


I was proud of my results, until I noticed that my linguistic profile only adds up to 95%. Not sure about the other 5%. I've seen others get the same 95%, so it might be a bug...

Oh, my gosh ! I took this thing and was 50% Dixie (understandably, since I have spent my entire life in the south)35% General American English, 5% Midwestern and this is the clincher - 5% yankee ! Now where in the world did that come from ???? And my total only came to 95% also. I guess the remaining 5% is "cussin" (southern for cursing)

I think I can live with this. I was much more afraid of Upper Midwestern than I was Yankee! And it will make my family happy to know I still have 30% Dixie speak in me!
