Huh! Took this in '06, just did it again today -- got quite different results! Shows you what living here in New England has done over the years
Today's results: I Speak Yankee!
35% Yankee
30% General American English
15% Dixie
10% Upper Midwestern
5% Midwestern
('06 results: 50% General American English, 15% Dixie, 5% Upper Midwestern, 5% Midwestern....I think )

Look with the eyes of a child.
'Hope guides me. It is what gets me through the day, and especially the night.' -- A Knight's Tale "I talk to you as I talk to my own soul...and, Sassenach,” he whispered, “your face is my heart.” -- Jamie Fraser, "Dragonfly In Amber" by Diana Gabaldon @Dremnghrt on Twitter, Dreamnghrt on tumblr - come say Hi!
This is the result i got from it: "Upper Midwest English To others, you might not seem like you have much of an accent at all. It's only when listening closely that they can hear the upper Midwest influence. You would rather say "you guys" rather than "y'all," and your verbal foundations are clear when you speak. You learned to speak colloquially, and it has stuck with you!"

Grateful am I to have a sword in which to defend myself at all times, blessed am I for the days I need not use it.
