I came out 50% Yankee, barely in the Yankee category. Which would make sense, since I was born in Massachusetts and lived there until I was 23. The other half of me is Southern, my adopted home since 1981. I'm proud to be a bit of both. :)
I guess I missed all the hoo-ha on the other thread. In fact, I totally missed the other thread! :)Oh, well.

I'm 40% (Yankee). From the other responses here, that makes me think I scored very Yankee in my responses. Most were Great Lakes region, which makes sense -- that's where I've always lived. I know I'm a Midwesterner for sure.

I guess I'm in the middle...probably comes from living around the country. Also, homestead country like I'm from drew from many diffrent areas.

I got 43% Yankee on the test. Which is a hoot, because I have never lived anywhere but New York and born in Canada.

I only got 60% Dixie, but I was born, raised and still live below the Mason Dixon.

I got 51% Yankee - I had the same question as you Marybeth - I've lived in the Northwest all my life and my answers kept coming up Great Lakes area. Maybe they don't have a category for the NW. I had some answers, I think, that were throwbacks to my grandparents who came from WV. I picked up some of their terms for things when I was little. I love the diversity in language in this country.

Heather - I was born and raised in the south and I guess you could say I'm a southern belle. I give my parents that credit for my raising.

45% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category. I think this test is the bunk. I've lived in Michigan, northern Ohio, and eastern Pennsylvania but never spent more than a few summers of my youth "down south," and then my strong Great Lakes accent made me stick out like a sore thumb. One summer I worked at a Hardee's at the drive-thru window, and when I gave my little speech - "Thank you for stopping at Hardees. Would you like to try a 'Boss' combo meal today?" - I'd get this long pause...customers thought my plain Midwestern accent was a recorded message! (Of course, to me, "down south" is the Bootheel of Missouri. "Genuine" Southerners usually call Missouri the Midwest.) |

61% Dixie- which is hilarious. I was born in CT and raised by very proper New Englanders, teaching me to annuciate each and every syllabul. I have lived in 10 different states, so I think I am a nice mix but Texas is now my home and yee haw, I love being a Southern gal!!
Cheers,

i came in at 71% DIXIE .. which doesn't surprize me for a D.C. gurl .. cuz' my momma and my poppa and all their kin-folk are from the south .. i was raised in the big Eastern City of D.C. .. and it's surrounding Maryland and Virginia .. and i've lived in Florida (one year) and several years in the mountains of Colorado ... so i believe my language influences are reflected by all but is brightly colored by my southern family.
