I thought I'd try, for a laugh; I haven't a clue what it's meant to mean, but these are my results!:)

I'm a little disappointed that it's only 40% Dixie. I'm equally glad it's 0% Yankee. Does that mean I grew up below the Mason-Dixon line? :)

We really do sound like that up here. Fortunately, I've been told I have a very slight southern accent, which is good because it combats the new england one, but I wonder why, because I have never lived in the south.

Over the last two years, I have been working with a client in the East Brunswick area of New Joisee. I can't tell you how many times my partner and I would have an entire wait staff at a restaurant gathered around us - just to listen to the southern drawl, with a strong Kentucky twang in it. :eek:

Truly ironic.
