That's pretty cool! It "detected" my Yankee-isms and even on Number 6 question: "Do you pronounce "cot" and "caught" the same way?" I won't give my answer here but with it the comment FOR my answer was "Favored from Pennsylvania to Ohio and Indiana". WOW! RIGHT on the money! Exactly right! BUT!!..... here's MY final score with comment: "57% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category." HUH?! Sheesh! Guess I'll have to change this site to MadridMan's Dixie Home Page!  Cute, fun, and interesting quiz though. Thanks for the link. Saludos, MadridMan

Fun little quiz... it certainly nailed my southern accent (79% Dixie)! I may live in the Chicago area but my roots are for sure in the South, Virginia and New Oreleans (or should I say N'awlins  ). Kelly

Having grown up in central Missouri, the Chicago area, and southern Indiana, I came out 52% Dixie. In looking at other answers on how my wife pronounces things (Wisconsin and Minnesota), she's 43% yankee. The linguistic locations of several pronunciations were things we had commented on before as well.

38% Yankee, a definite Yankee. A yup!
