Put Some Mustard on It, Ya’ll
So I came across this site that attempts to measure the type of American English that a person speaks. I took the test expecting it to return with a message along the lines of “I don’t know what you just said, but it sure wasn’t English”. To my surprise it came back with this instead:
Your Linguistic Profile: |
| 65% General American English |
| 25% Dixie |
| 10% Yankee |
| 0% Midwestern |
| 0% Upper Midwestern |
I’m pretty sure that I know where that 10% Yankee came from. But then again, I ain’t never been learned to talk good.
75% general – 25% dixie …
