The Linguistic me



Your Linguistic Profile:



75% General American English

10% Dixie

10% Midwestern

5% Yankee

0% Upper Midwestern



I'm curious where the 5% Yankee came from, and also curious why I have not picked up any Upper Midwesternisms despite having lived here for decades. I think they must have been looking for some of those peculiar Michigan words. I'm proud to have hung onto some of my parent's Southernisms. Now let's go get a pop, y'all.

And it appears to have repaired itself. That's a relief.
