Yankee or Dixie? Take the Quiz
Yankee or Dixie ^

Posted on 01/14/2005 11:10:39 AM PST by Hillary's Lovely Legs

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.

  • Do not change your answer during the test as it will ruin the score. You may do this after scoring is calculated to see the other answers.
  • If you make a mistake, hit Clear below to restart the test!
  • I regret that I do not have time to entertain discussions about this test or negotiate changes. It is provided strictly as-is and for entertainment purposes only.
  • Be aware that television entertainment has a lot of northern dialect in it. This will have more of an influence on you than you expect.
  • This test is based on results from the Harvard Computer Society Dialect Survey of 30788 respondents.

Something like that. Dixie indeed.

43% Yankee but no answer indicated Dixie that I saw. My answers pegged mainly Great Lakes (being raised in Michigan and Wisconsin, this would make sense) or Universal with some Western (the Arizona influence).

I haven't read other replies to see if you posted your score.

I'm surprised it's not higher. I ain't never lived north of the Mason-Dixie. Born in Louisiana and moved to TN.

Southerners never called it "sweet tea" until an influx of Yankees and their "unsweet tea" abomination changed things. Prior to maybe the mid '80s, if you asked for "iced tea" in a Southern eatery, it would have been sweet.
