100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

I'm originally from Pennsylvania but have obviously assimilated well in my over five decades south of the Mason-Dixon line. I thought for sure that "creek" would have tripped me up since I can't shake the old habit of calling it "crick". Likewise "iron" is still "arn" to me -- but that's also common in east Tennessee.

One Texas/Southern idiom that came natural to me is "fixin' to". Near the West Virginia border where I was raised, that was fairly common and I used it since childhood. Now, I'm fixin' to hit the post button.

94% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!

Texas isn’t quite southern.

I clocked a 35 percent Dixie.
So, there it is...

My best friend and I both lived in a lovely TN city and we each worked for a a different northern based company. The company I worked for sent up and coming southerners to school to homogenize their language. The company my girlfriend worked for simply adopted “fixin to” once they heard it in a conference call :-).
This same girlfriend acquired a crowd of admirers at the Freepers Balls in DC during the 2004 inauguration. Under the influence of all that lovely alcohol her TN accent/dialect became very pronounced.

So scared taking this test! I want SO badly to be a real Texan now but wasn’t sure how I would fare!

I was happy enough with the basic test result:
70% Dixie.Well under the Mason-Dixon Line
(Could have been better, but OK, that’s OK.)

Getting at least that high encouraged me to take the more advance test where I then scored: 46% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.

Am I torn between the two or might I be a work in progress?
