Yankee or Dixie?


Check on your dialect and see if you might have crossed over to the "other side"! Simply click on the correct answer. As you go, the quiz will automatically interpret each answer to show you what your answer implies about you. When you are done, press Compute My Score. Your score will be calculated as a percentage: 0% is pure Yankee and 100% is pure Dixie.
Do not change your answer during the test as it will ruin the score. You may do this after scoring is calculated to see the other answers.
If you make a mistake, hit Clear below to restart the test!
I regret that I do not have time to entertain discussions about this test or negotiate changes. It is provided strictly as-is and for entertainment purposes only.
Be aware that television entertainment has a lot of northern dialect in it. This will have more of an influence on you than you expect.
This test is based on results from the Harvard Computer Society Dialect Survey of 30788 respondents.

I was stationed at Cherry Point after "Nam. guess this is why I got a 78 % Dixie...Unless the fact that I live in southern Idaho has anything to do with it...

44% yankee but I'm a displaced "Southerner" born in New Mexico raised in Texas.
Than north by way of California to Indiana and these chilly winters.
2004 - 1949 = 55 years - 10 = 45 years up here in chilly northwest Indiana, make that Hammond, Indiana...
So am I a "Northern/Southerner" or a "Southern/Northerner"
Inquiring minds want to know!

PS
Talking about rubbing off, I brought my better half, two little bears kissing.
One has a ribbon around her ear making that bear the lady bear.
The other one was just plain.
Years back, I brought home for my grandson a small bear wearing a small red T-Shirt with USMC on it.
That bear also had a cammie cover.
Well all was lost but the cammie cover.
Now that cammie cover sits on that plain bear.
I asked my better half, "Who placed that cover on that bear"?
Her reply, "I Did".
Tell me, Don't we rub off on our ladies?
