68% Dixie. Grew up in Northern Ky and then moved further south. Should’ve gotten bonus points for marrying a girl from Alabama.

To: I still care

No two vowel-consonant combinations have the same vowel sounds on Long Island, right? I moved from Long Island to Massachusetts, and frequently wrestled with having to infer which one of many New England homophones people meant, since on Long Island, there are comparably so few homophones.

For instance, “Paw,” “Pah,” “Pa,” and “Par” are all pronounced different on Long Island, but identically in Boston... except for some real quirky New England accents which completely reverse vowel sounds, so “Haht Dawg” becomes “Hawt Dahg,” and “Bawstin Cahllidge” becomes “Bahstn Cawlj.”

18% Dixie, but then I am from Rhode Island. I never realized that Aunt, rhymes with want, was a purely New England pronunciation. We always called my Father’s sisters Aunt, they were true Yankees but my Mother’s sisters were called Aunty, Polish 1st generation.

Raised in New Jersey, living in Minnestoopid, and scored 92% Dixie. I miss my time in Texas!

I was worried with the first question because I was raised to pronounce 'aunt' like taunt. However, 'Staunton' is pronounced like 'Stant-un'.

60%, grew up in southern Indiana which is closer to Dixie than you might think. 35 years of living in central Indiana has not had much of an effect. It might have been higher but my dad was from Boston.

36% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.

Makes sense. Part of my family comes from W. Va., but I haven’t spent that much time there.

I scored:

“73% Dixie. Your neck must be a just little rosy”

Not surprising, really, since Puerto Rico is waaaay to the south of Nashville. : )

I got a kick out of the “crayfish/crawdad” question, which was one of the few questions that kicked me more into the Southern camp. I was at some aquarium up north and the look on this lady’s face standing next to me with my peculiar, unplaceable accent loudly exclaiming, “Hey, look, crawdaddies !”, was priceless.

First of all, we prefer to be called “Crimson-necked Americans.”

26% Dixie. I’m a dandy Yankee Doodle MA born, raised and still reside but that doesn’t mean I’ve never traveled and still like the right coast best.
