Yankee or Dixie ^

Yankee or Dixie?
Check on your dialect and see if you might have crossed over to the "other side"! Simply click on the correct answer. As you go, the quiz will automatically interpret each answer to show you what your answer implies about you. When you are done, press Compute My Score. Your score will be calculated as a percentage: 0% is pure Yankee and 100% is pure Dixie.
- Do not change your answer during the test as it will ruin the score. You may do this after scoring is calculated to see the other answers.
- If you make a mistake, hit Clear below to restart the test!
- I regret that I do not have time to entertain discussions about this test or negotiate changes. It is provided strictly as-is and for entertainment purposes only.
- Be aware that television entertainment has a lot of northern dialect in it. This will have more of an influence on you than you expect.
- This test is based on results from the Harvard Computer Society Dialect Survey of 30788 respondents.

Don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
55% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

Woefully inadequate.
I grew up in suburban Chicago and lived in NYC for 17 years. I took it first and was tagged at 49% "barely in yankee territory". I corrected some answers to more local Chicago argot and the score decreased to 41%, still as "barely in yankee territory."

57% - barely Dixie, which is funny, because I was born in the Northeast! I'm a southern gal at heart.

55% was my score as well. Which makes sense, seeing as I'm a former New York Italian that moved to the Southeast several years ago.

Well, that's about right for someone who lives about 20 miles north of the Mason-Dixon line and listens to Country radio...

I don't use any word for this
Devil's night

46% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
I'm from Michigan, so I guess that means we are "barely" Yankees.
