yes, yes i am a sucker for quizzes

Stumbled across this quiz while doing some housekeeping on another blog we maintain:

Your Linguistic Profile:
50% General American English
25% Upper Midwestern
20% Yankee
5% Midwestern
0% Dixie
What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

This makes sense as I grew up in Michigan, but have lived most of my life (since I was twenty) elsewhere. Ten years in New York City, three years in Arizona, a year in Boston, and for the last 15 years or so, I’ve been in Connecticut.

1. For sake of comparison:

   Your Linguistic Profile:

   60% General American English
   20% Yankee
   10% Dixie
   10% Upper Midwestern
   0% Midwestern

   (and 0.01% Vogon, just for sake of rounding errors)
