Juju I didn't till you pointed it out. We Canafians do live in a world unto ourselves. But I see Littlebreeze has nudged me out of the way. Of course she's from New England. Nuff said.

Your Linguistic Profile: 50% General American English 30% Dixie 10% Yankee 5% Midwestern 5% Upper Midwestern My Dixie is almost as much as my General American. But they didn't ask if you spoke with a southern drawl when they ask if caramel was 3 sylables. It's really 4.

85% General American English 5% Dixie 5% Midwestern 5% Upper Midwestern 0% Yankee I beat Who! My results must be because I've lived in the same city my whole life. When I'm around people who speak with a southern drawl, I catch myself sliding into speaking with a drawl too.

I also hated that question about "easy" classes.. and never heard or used any of the three terms they listed. I guess I got my blend from living on the east coast, raised by Hoosiers, then living in Michigan until I was 13. The rest has been California.

This is me: 45% General American English 30% Yankee 15% Dixie 5% Midwestern 5% Upper Midwestern I don't know what that means as I'm actually English and as far as I know I haven't lost my accent at all! A lot of the questions I didn't have an answer for, so I picked the one I hear most frequently around here (California). What is Dixie anyway?
