Shamalama's Score: 79% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!

35% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.

41% (Yankee). "Barely" into the Yankee category by the quiz standard, but most regional responses were heavily Great Lakes .

45% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
Yeah right! I've lived in the northeast my entire life and some of the things that they said is southern or southeastern, my friends and I say daily and none of us have lived below Pennsylvania. Not sure how they can be typically southern when people from the northeast use them in daily speach.

65% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

77% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score! (not bad for someone born in Ohio, Southern Ohio that is!!!)

50% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

Well I am a halfbreed then - but not a born one LOL

I guess we in Germany take half of the Yankees and half of the Dixies and be merry about it.

83% (Dixie). Was there ever any doubt?

37% Yankee; although I am not entirely sure this script is working properly. I hit calculate again and again and it gave a different score going all the way to southern.

I definitely have a New England/Boston accent. For some reason when I speak to people down south they love my accent. Of course, I love their accent too but I don't detect my accent.

By fate do I live in the North. My ancestor Hugh MacArthur from 1770 was headed towards North Carolina where in supposedly had family. He was ship wrecked off Prince Edward Island 1770 or so......

43% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
Being from the Chicagoland area my entire life I didn't expect to be either.

65% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

That is the weirdest thing ever. I was born in Indianaand now I live in Ohio. I've barely even visited the south, weird! I'm totally a northerner by birth, I just never knew I was a southerner by heart...haha!

61% A Definative Southern Score!


Okay, Nebraska is neither North nor South. I do, however, live in the southern part of the state which could possibly account for my score. Of course, most of my family came to this state from North/South Carolina, so, perhaps at the core I am southern!!! (one can only hope!!!)

Well y'all, this is what it said about me:

92% (Dixie). Is General Lee your father?

Y'all oughta here me talkin' Spanish

That's because you are so far south you're almost north! (did that make sense? )
