Great, I can't get away from the rest of the tests... so far, I found out I act like a 22 year old, my Japanese name is Hoshiko Inokuma, and I failed the citizenship test. I'm gonna have to bookmark the site and take some more tests later.

You failed the citizenship test? Just out of curiousity - which questions didn't you know? I got a 100%, would have had a 90% but radii corrected me on the year the Constitution was written.

I used to study this in college but it has been so long that I don't remember which answers would trigger which region.

75% general, 25% Dixie. That makes sense, I've been in the south all my life.

I am embarassed by the 5% yankee. Obviously, I lived in NY and Boston for too long.

I'm from Michigan, so I'm not suprised by my results, but all of my answers seemed so general to me. I wish I knew which ones were "Upper Midwest" or "Midwest" answers.

I think I'm the only one so far that has more than 25% in Dixie AND Yankee ;).

Oh, and the 10% Dixie probably comes from the 3 months I spent working in Dallas!

I think we're tied. :)

I blame the 10 percent Dixie on the fact that I have not yet been 100 percent successful in excising all of my Ozarkian upbringing dialect (chiefly, "Y'all") from my spoken English. I also realized how stupid it is now to refer to a water dispensing device for drinking in public as a "water fountain."

Makes sense since I'm from Wisconsin...

Although.. should be 55/25/20. #6, I don't drink from a water or drinking fountain.. I drink from a bubbler.

I was interested to see what it makes of English English:

40% General
25% Yankee
15% Dixie
5% Upper Midwestern
5% Midwestern

Missed out on two questions as we don't cover the front of the house with toilet paper or have easy classes :)
