73% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!

76% Dixie... I woulda thought 100% Dixie. I'm so ashamed.

78% Dixie. I think my accent's gotten worse (or maybe it's more noticeable) since moving to Dallas.

Just because I knew what "Mischief Night" was - I lived in NJ for one year - it put me in:

43% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.

Texas 15 years
Arkansas 8 years
Calif 3 years
NJ 1 year

the remainder NOT in the US - Cuba (11), Peru (2), Okinawa (1), Phillipines, Korea, here & there & everywhere!

Hell! I don't even know where I spent the entire 53 years!

Heehee, 48%(yankee). I'm a lifelong resident of CA, but my parents moved out here from MA before I was born. Cool quiz!

Looks like the information used in the test could be a bit more sophisticated than just "Yankee" or "Dixie" thought. Most of my responses came up with "Great Lakes region," which is more accurate for me than "Yankee."

52% Dixie. I have lived in Michigan all of my life ecxept the two years my husband was stationed at Fort Knox. One afternoon, while living in married housin on post, I couldn't shut off our outside spigot. I called up another Army-wife friend of mine to see if I could borrow some pliers--pligh-errs. My friend, a Louisiana native, had absolutely no idea what I was talking about, even after I described them to her and told her what I needed them for. Finally, I spelled the word. "Oh, you mean plarz!"

Guess I'm not so Dixie!

I also found it interesting that much of the feedback related directly to Michigan/Great Lakes: Devil's Night, TPing...but no mention of cow tipping!

There was actually a county-by-county study of the "pop vs. soda vs. seltzer" thing.
