Are you a Yankee or a Rebel?
Courtesy of my friend Kim, here's a dialect test you can take to determine how far north or south of the Mason-Dixon line your speech favors.

Not surprisingly, my results were 33% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.
Here is the link to the advanced test:

And again, the results were just as I expected -- 15% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!
I'm interested in seeing what DH's results are. He was born in New England but raised in Texas. I already know that what I call a "pillbug" he calls a "roly-poly". When we visit his grandmother in Rhode Island we drink cabinets.
His results: Part I: 55% Dixie. Barely in Dixie.
Part II: 44% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.
At least I know that living in Texas for over a year hasn't worn off on me. LOL!
