hey y'all
So I took this Yankee or Dixie Quiz tonight and my score was "78% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!"
The test is based on dialect. I don't think it is rigged, but some of the choices seem limited. Anyway, I have always found dialect fascinating...but I guess not enough to study it closely. I'd rather sit down and invent my own language.

guess my time here from years 1-6 and 18-23, as well as my parent's 7 years or so have affected me more than i thought
