What Kind of American English Do You Speak?
A quiz to determine your "linguistic profile". My score:
I'm not sure how 5% Dixie snuck in there. I'd also question the designation of "Yankee". I grew up in upstate New York but have lived in Boston for more than twenty years. There's quite a bit of linguistic difference between the two areas.
| 40% Yankee |
| 35% General American English |
| 20% Upper Midwestern |
| 5% Dixie |
| 0% Midwestern |
