That Americanaccent.com site is fantastic - and a hoot, looking at it as an American (and seeing myself pegged at every turn, LOL!).

This Pennsylvanian-Californian is 61% Dixie. When I was just a Pennsylvanian, I would have been 46% Yankee. I lost some of those Pennsylvania-isms like "pop", "crick", and "yunz".

By the way, to me, a Yankee is someone who lives in New England, or someone who plays on the New York American League baseball team.

(A drive through liquor store? Lawdy-mercy!)

By the way, Terry, car-MEL is the place in California. CAR-muhl is the candy. :-)

Me too Kelli
I never considered myself a yankee. Never thought about it "a tall" til I went to College in Kentucky (10 miles from the Tennessee border) and all my friends called me a Yank....and said I talked funny.

Then.... when I came home at Christmas, all my friends up here said I talked funny!

CAN'T WIN!!

Vic, it sounds like we grew up hearing the same things!!

83% Dixie. :) And this is what I expected, but I'm a little suprised having a mom from North Carolina and a dad from Australia and spending my first 8 years overseas that it'd be that high!

76% Dixie!
I guess even the Big Apple can't really dilute a Southern upbringing.
