1. 58% Dixie based on this. Seems right. I'm from Maryland.
Language is so interesting. It took me a few weeks to get used the way folks talked in New Orleans. Also, even though Maryland in below the Mason-Dixon Line (in fact it is our northern border), I was considered a Yankee.

10. 44% Yankee (barely)?
WTF? Born in Alabama, and living in Georgia?

Must be my having been raised in Virginia, son of an English professor and a Poet Laureate. But both of them were South Carolinian!?

:wtf:

17. 73% Dixie for this Englishman.
I must state I have lived here 6 years though. But 73%?! It's right that I speak a dialect that's common to the south east. Maybe us in SE England have more in common with those in SE USA?

Mark.

19. I'm a 41% Yankee (barely)...
Edited on Thu Dec-08-05 11:14 PM by Blue_In_AK
Not surprising. I was born in Ohio and lived there until 8; moved to Colorado, lived there until 15; moved to Texas, lived there until 21; Colorado for a year, California for six, and then Alaska for the past 30 years. I guess I'm all over the map.
