I'm from Southern Indiana, but I do not sound like it. I find it rather funny I got a whopping 0% for my actual area of the country.

I said Midwestern, but that's not what the quiz gave me (I didn't know there was a quiz until after voting).

I kinda disagree with this quiz...too many General American English speakers...I don't think it hit the right point.

It should ask how you pronounce O and stuff like that...get those Northerners out of my General American English grouping...

47% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

I object!

The first test posted I ended up abandoning becuase I felt like I was being forced into a corner. I call the night before Halloween 'Gate Night', an easy class an easy class, and I don't really know.

I'm not American anyways. I talk like a British person without an accent, but with California slang.

Yes, I do, as far as I know.

I also have an ancestor's rocking chair from the Civil War...

...and I have ancestors who were in the Coast Guard in the Bermuda Triangle, the Army on the Italian Front in WWII, and mercenaries in Napolean's army...
