lmao..hey i’m more Northern than you are and I’m “dixie”…I think *i’ve* been down here too long lol
58% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.
Methinks there might be a problem with said test mi’ old mucker when the Queen’s best Mancunian English comes in at 58%.
I think there’s a lot of similarity between the “less proper” (if that’s the right term) British English and Southern dialect. I love this stuff! And from this Dialect Map of American English I found a HUGE treasure trove of dialect links.
What can I say?
89% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?
Yankee or Dixie?
Here’s a fun little quiz, courtesy of Solonor. I came out with a 35% Yankee — A definitive Yankee. Quelle
49% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
Dude-
This is one cool link, I loved this test!
50% Yankee. Interesting stuff. Kinda fun.
I was 71% Dixie and I don’t think CO is considered South!
35% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.
Yeee-haw!
Wait a minute…erm…nevermind.
I’m from England and still got 66% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!
Less proper meaning Northern English? Who would have been the first on a boat to somewhere warm given half a chance?
That explains the annual Northern Englishman’s excursion to the Costa Del Tack.
So I believe there may be commonality.
Jeezz… 78% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score! No kidding. You would think I was born and raised in Texas or something. Oh… right… I guess I was.
Yank or Dix . . . wait, that don’t sound right…
Here’s a neat little quiz from Solly and Scott. It claims that I’m: 87% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate
bran is 48% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
i’m not sure what i expected of that. i notice that we westerners are curiously left out of the poll. maybe we need a ‘are you east of the Mississippi, or west?’ quiz.
Y’all Dun Take This Test Now, Ya Hear?
I’ve never lived anywhere near the southern states. I lived in Arizona, which while “southern”, isn’t what they’re referring to. I don’t have an accent. My mom lives in Tennessee, and I talk to her quite a bit, but I…
61% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score! Well that’s pretty fair, I’m just way east of the Mississippi 🙂
91% (Dixie). Is General Lee your father?
Y’all need to do some rethinkin’ of that score down at the Beverage Barn, I reckon’!
Bin Laden Surrounded? & Other Stuff
Came to the Bus Garage today and saw some of you were waiting for a fresh tour. So here goes.
Yankee or Dixie?
[Courtesy of Solonor] Yankee or Dixie Quiz: I am 43%…
68% Dixie. I’ll buy that, but the quiz is flawed. The question about what you call a long sandwich doesn’t work for people in Louisiana, who would almost universally refer to it as a “po boy” (not a choice on the quiz).
If you still want to try this yankee/dixie quiz, it’s in a Google cache:
