    41% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category.

    I have lived all over the country- dad is retired US Marine Corps Officer.

    What's funny is I have a French Canadian mom, and an American dad (who grew up in CA); so I know my speech isn't right- dh thinks living in Seattle screwed up my speech even more- because I was around more Canadians, well words that most normal people would say I say differently.

    Here are the things Matt makes fun of my pronounciation-

    SORRY- I say "sor-re" instead of "sar-re"
    TOMORROW- I say "to-mor-row", instead of "to-mar-row"
    BORROW- "bor-row" instead of "bar-row"

    Luckily I haven't screwed up the pronounciation of about.

        58% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line

        Odd, I was born and raised in Kansas until I was 22, since then I've lived in CO, CA, and MN. Fun, though!

          I was born and raised in a midwestern wasp ghetto where all the women talk like Edie McClurg and all the men talk like The Superfans from SNL.

          Not really.

          Well, a little bit.

          Actually I know my accent has blunted quite a bit since I moved because it's been a few years since any new acquaintance has hesitantly asked me where I'm from after I open my mouth.

            48% Yankee - I was born and raised in Texas!!! I think I may have scored so high in "Yankee" because I lived in San Antonio, which in the past was a big military town. San Antonians don't have "hick" accents because the influx of out-of-towners due to the military diluted the accent. At least that is what I have been told. My score may also be due to my Brooklyn-raised mom.

              63% (Dixie). Just under the Mason-Dixon Line

              Not suprised at all. I hail from So. Ohio with extensive KY and TN roots. People say "Auuuuunt" here and we say "Ant" to mean our female relatives. Unlike my relatives, however, I do not say "warsh my clothes" or "wrasling (wrestling)" or "crik (creek)".

                41% Yankee, which I'm sure can be attributed to my cousins. I got beat on the head for saying "pop" and "ant", so I now say soda and aunt.

                The drive through beverage thing threw me .... I just know of them as drive thru beverage stores!
