I noticed the quiz had everything west of the Mississippi “West.” What the heck is that?

Payback for westerners referring to everything east of the Mississippi as "back east?"

Well, isn't St Louis called the "Gateway to the West"?

I’m from W. Pa. I got “West” on the test. Nobody I ever met in the rest of Pa ever thought I sounded like them. Hubby from CT got “inland north”. We’ve lived in upstate NY for forty years, and people think we sound funny. The kids have a funny Syracuse accent, where job is jab and feel is fill. Everyone thinks they have no accent.
