What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

Published by throwingmarshmallows at 10:47 pm under Fun Stuff

OK…so I found this one over on KineticEnergy and thought that it was fun:

Your Linguistic Profile:
50% General American English

20% Dixie
0% Midwestern
0% Upper Midwestern

What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

And I think that it actually makes sense! I was born and raised in central New York (lived there until we moved to Maryland when I was in 9th grade) but have lived for the past 20 years (yikes!) in Virginia (and part of that was in southwest Virginia (where I picked up that wonderful phrase y’all) while at Virginia Tech).  And that previous sentence had way too many parenthesis in it but I don’t feel like going back and fixing it…

Very interesting!

    Wow, I am off to check my profile now. Your new web design is great. I use firefox though and your quote about marshmallows overlaps with the first lines of your blog in my browser.
