After all these years, I'm finally:

"70% Dixie. Just under the Mason-Dixon Line"

I'm from Florida and my accent is much more southern type in most southern states. That means I'm a no-goody redneck. :P

EDIT: Removed the questions and answers due to the text space. :P

Don't know why everyone has to reprint their answers, just take the test, taking up space is kinda useless, in my humble opinion, which usually counts for nothing.

I am 46% , which surprises the heck out of me, since I was born and raised in California, and have only been in Kansas for six years. Maybe I have adapted more quickly than I thought.

I'm 79% Dixie.

I remember having a playful argument with a northeastern college friend about how I called any carbonated drink "Coke" and he insisted it was "Soda Pop".

Wow! It seems like there are more "Yankees" on this board then Dixies, or more Yankees are finding this quiz. It's nice to know how everybody speaks and how much we learned about the regions of the US. I never heard of a crawdad or a poke before!! I'm so used to hearing "Sneakers" that I'm surprised and sometimes confused when my mom talks about rubber shoes or a person talks about tennis shoes (yeah, um...shoes when you play tennis?).

So far we have two Aussies and a European who took the quiz anyway. 271286, would you consider yourself having a Danish accent? To people from Denmark have an accent when speakin English? Hmmmmmmm...

Where is slyslayer3000? I wonder if he has a filipino accent or if he's filipino american. Maybe I am confusing him with someone else though, lol.

On another note, there was an option missing from the "soda" question. When we're up at my grandmother's house, we call it "Co-Cola". :lol:
