Yankee



Your Linguistic Profile:



45% Yankee

30% General American English

15% Dixie

10% Upper Midwestern

0% Midwestern





But I actually am Midwestern and apparently my Midwesternese is 0. How troubling. And I even say Catty-corner and everything.

Mine is a little more eccentric. I am obviously more American English than Yankee, but not much. And how on earth can you say 'caramel' in two syllables?! The Dixie thing also troubles me...

Hmm... Place names are different I think. Otherwise we'd spend forever telling people how you get to Leicestershire (pronounced Less-ter-sheer btw).

We could spend aons discussing this. I'd rather talk about my v exciting experience this weekend...!!
