What kind of American English Do You Speak?

[bookwyrm]

60% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

That makes some sense - I've never lived north of Virginia or west of Texas (Well, Hawaii doesn't count, it's not on the mainland! )

There were definately not enough options for most of those....

I speak Canadian... with [b] honour[/b].

A cruller's a doughnut. Usually it's a brown, glazed doughnut that's yellow and cakey on the inside.

My score on the other test:
41% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

For the other one its

37% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.

I didn't have answers for a couple, though, so I just picked one, and there were a couple others that I use both terms that didn't have the "both" option.
I use both TPing and toilet papering, both tennis shoes and sneakers, and I don't have an answer to
" What do you call a traffic situation in which several roads meet in a circle and you have to get off at a certain point?" (I don't call it anything)
"What do you call an easy class?" (I call it an EASY CLASS!)
