Moot Thoughts & Musings

Here's me:
35% Dixie
30% General American English
25% Yankee
5% Midwest
5% Upper Midwest

Well balanced, eh?

Hey! How did you get as much Yankee as me? :)
What I'd like to know is how they define "general American English".

Here's mine:

60% General American English
20% Dixie
10% Upper Midwestern
5% Yankee
0% Midwestern

I blame the Yankee on my Dad and I figure that the upper Midwestern came from living in Utah.

These are my results:

50% General American English
30% Dixie
20% Yankee
0% Midwestern
0% Upper Midwestern

I'm amused by the fact that I have zero Midwestern influence. The Dixie portion is no surprise, since I grew up in NC, but where all that Yankee came from is a complete mystery!

I ended up with only 5% dixie, a travesty which I blame entirely on four years of the speech corrupting environment surrounding Covenant. Otherwise I am 75% normal and 15% Upper Midwestern (quirks from Colorado, I guess) and 10% Yankee.
