I talk “mehrkin” good!

70% General American English
15% Dixie
15% Yankee

Rural Illinois with a bit of Missouri. I can never convince city people that there is a difference between a crick and a creek. A crick is a creek small enough to step across.

I guess okay for someone born in Nebraska, raised in Kansas, college degree from Oklahoma University and residing in Texas for 28 years.

Thanks for posting these. Blessings to y’all!.

I speak “anchor man” English. Ridicule by a couple of Goose Creek, SC bikers (Y’all Yankee!) in 1971 put an end to any identifiable accent I might have had.

Not surprising as I have lived in the south, the west, and spent years in the military with guys from all over the states.

I am insulted. It said I was 10% Yankee. Not sure what to tell the family. *sigh*
