American English

When I lived and worked in the USA back in 1999/2000 I didn't acquire an accent but I did pick up some words which I still use today (and get ribbed about constantly!). So after I saw this quiz on Cat's livejournal I though I'd see what kind of American English I speak, and the answer is:



Your Linguistic Profile:



45% General American English

40% Yankee

10% Dixie

5% Upper Midwestern

0% Midwestern



What Kind of American English Do You Speak?



So there you go, feel free to take the test for yourself and let me know if you are more American than I!

ps. I promise to update soon on what I've been up to since getting back from my trip...just been busy!

My results were the same as Jess. As I am living here full time at the moment, I will take the test again in about 12 months and see if I get different results!!

I started to do it but there were two many questions that I wanted to respond 'none of the above' to so I abandoned it. I think that probably is quite telling in itself though.
