Yankee or Dixie?
Check on your dialect and see if you might have crossed over to the "other side"! Simply click on the correct answer. As you go, the quiz will automatically interpret each answer to show you what your answer implies about you. When you are done, press Compute My Score. Your score will be calculated as a percentage: 0% is pure Yankee and 100% is pure Dixie.
* This test is based on results from the Harvard Computer Society Dialect Survey of 30788 respondents.

I was born and raised in Washington and came out 53% dixie. Must be my years in the Navy. I noticed I use the word "soda" now because the Navy does, but I used "pop" as a kid. This one threw me off:
-You all
-Youse
-You'uns, yins
-Y'all
Huh? I don't use any of those...
To: GATOR NAVY
I spent my 1st 4 years in Florida, guess that's where I learned to talk right. I don't have an accent until I go back or talk to my uncle on the phone. Then it comes back immediately. It drives my wife nuts (she is from Seattle). I use the word coke even for orange soda.
Let's see... You all must be mid west, Youse maybe Chicago or Brooklyn, You'uns sounds to me like northeasters, and y'all is definitely deep south.

The only people I've ever known to use "Youse" are New Jerseyites and New Yorkers.
I've never heard you'uns...so not in this part of the Northeast. Mostly "you guys", which wasn't a choice.
