What do they mean 15% Yankee and 10% Dixie?
It should be the other way around.
I was born in Virginia and spent most of my summers in Virginia.
And Upper Midwestern?? No clue.
I thought I was going to be ahead of schedule
only to have the system drop out on us
just as I was working on my post.
So, I'm going to get to my round, quickly, before...
nope, didn't make it...dropped again.
This may take all day.
Hope I can get it posted in the "between" moment.
UGH!!!!
Please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops and their families entertained.
The Canteen is
Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

Well, that sorta makes sense. I've been to enough places around the country through 40+ years of military affiliation, that I've picked up a fair smattering of many different ways to say things. And, I've always called an easy class an easy class, so that data point is missing...

Trying to figure out where the 10% Yankee comes from. The rest of it makes sense.
40% Yankee
35% General American English
20% Dixie
0% Midwestern
0% Upper Midwestern
No "bubbler" for water fountain or drinking fountain, though?
No "basket" or "bascart" for shopping cart or buggy or carriage?
