[A Desert Rose]

which has nothing at all to do with this thread. But I got your attention, didn't I?

I scored 45%. What about you?

 

[landcruisergal]

wierd, I scored 53% and I'm australian. heh heh.

 

[Milambus]

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

Higher percentage is less Yankee and more Rebel btw.

 

[h_i_s]

29% (Yankee). You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

i could have told them that without taking a test.

.... & with an accent like mine, it's a good thing this forum in not voice chat enabled.

 

[Desdemona]

Well, I scored true to form. I'm pure rebel. I'd rather be fucking like minks though.

Well, I've got shopping to do if I want to avoid the crowds in the next few weeks. See ya'll later. (given my recent posting history, much much later.)

 

[Jay Davis]

58%, despite living in NYC for the past decade.

I actually grew up in Pheonix, AZ, which is an unusual place because it basically has no accent. While I was growing up--the seventies--no one was native there except for very small children. All the adults had grown up other places, generally assorted midwest, southeast, and northeast cities. The result was that we kids who learned to talk there had an accent that "averaged-out" all these influences, resulting in a sort of no-accent accent.

I grew up with parents who were from Oklahoma, though, so I had a slight twang from them. When I lived in Arizona, most people guessed I was from Texas, based on that (they had no idea what Oklahoma would sound like, I guess). Then, when I moved to Texas at 13, everyone there thought I was from California--not enough twang to sound Texan to them, and again, they had no idea what Arizona should sound like.

But my word choices--Coke, y'all, party barn, etc.--are pure Texas, even after 10 years in New York.

 

[graceanne]

43% - Yankee. LOL I guess the years in Minnesota stuck to me.

Frankly, I'm a mish-mash of accents. I've lived in Colorado, Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, California, and Oregon.

 

[bullaford]

I got 92% Dixie ... imagine that LOL

I think it was cuz we drove thru the party barn before we went rollin my friend and tippin the cows.

 

[Joe Schmoe]

52% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line

Does that make me a Rebel Yankee?

ps...I wanted to find out how minks fucked...ya sneaky wench

 

[A Desert Rose]

I didn't grow up anywhere near the south and I scored a 45%. I grew up in what is considered rural Wyoming (of course, everywhere but Casper or Cheyenne is considered rural LOL)and then have lived here (Las Vegas and northern Arizona) for the last 16 years.

Des says I sound like a westerner and I think she's right. I most definately don't sound like a Yankee.

Oh and P.S. I want someone to please come here and help me with this light fixture. Like in 5 minutes. OKAY???

[FurryFury]

65% (Dixie). Just under the Mason-Dixon Line.

Works for me, lived all over the South most of my life.

[ShyGuy68]

46% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category. And englis isn't even my fisrt language!!

It's obvious. You don't type it so good, either.

I'm 46% Yankee. I've lived in the mid-west most of my life, with a few exceptions. I have lived in the southeast for a short time, and in one job I frequented Alabama and Mississippi a lot, in person and on the phone. Maybe my Yankee purity has been tainted a bit, ya'll.

 

[sphynx's dragon]

73 % Dixie here, coulda told y'all that'un tho.

 

[AngelicAssassin]

50% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category.

although some would beg to differ.

 

[Chicklet]

"52% (Dixie). Right on the Mason-Dixon Line"

*scared* what does it mean??

 

[Red Sonja]

45% yankee... no surprise really. Born in NY, moved to Minnesota, only ever visited the south...

So... how come only 45% yankee? I dunno. Last time I went to a paralegal educators conference for the ABA they put me with the South Carolina folks. I'm in South Dakota... these people need to study geography. Seriously!

 

[FurryFury]

I didn't have any sort of an accent for a looong time. I spent more time watching TV than with people so I spoke a sort of neutral broadcast sort of accent. Which is to say with what most people consider to be no accent.

I believe and I could be wrong (it's happened folks, but only once or twice) that the REAL AND ORIGINAL yankee was a New Englander.

I think, (it's happened folks, but only once or twice) midwesterners and westerners are a group unto themselves.

I agree. People in the midwest have their own accent, and I know that my accent is perfectly normal for the west coast.

As a real and original (you mean 'born and raised', i am guessing) New Englander ... i agree with both of your statements.

 

[Miss Diva]

For a Canadian from Montreal no less I scored:

50% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category.

Call it what you like. I think the original term 'Yankee' meant New Englander and it wasn't until the civil war that the word took on a different meaning.

Dam minks!
