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.

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.

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?
