February 21, 200422 yr Yankee or Dixie? Here is a summary and instructions: 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. http://www.chuckchamblee.com/dom/fun/yankee_dixie_quiz.htm I scored an 83. What about yall?

February 22, 200422 yr 49%. Barely into the Yankee category...Interesting, though, that many of my words were used in the Western Gret Lakes region only....(Chicago, which is where I'm from...). I left there in 87, tho, and have lived in Texas and Florida ever sense....Pretty cool test!
