57% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

I was conflicted on some answers. Both my parents are from New London, CT so I've heard subs called grinders but I haven't lived anywhere for more than 6 years since 1968 and a good portion of that time has been Texas and Virginia. In fact, with 5 tours in VA, I've lived in VA a total of 7 years - now the longest total stay in any State.

A, for instance, is that I probably pronounced some words a certain way just years ago but I now pronounce them differently - I sometimes pronounce route both root and rowt.

You're a global nomad/third culture kid, Rich.

It was always fun to go 'home' to visit relatives, and have them say you sounded like a 'furriner'. But it makes you capable of communicating with all sorts of people.

100% (Dixie). Is General Lee your father?

I don't think of my speech as southern at all. Oh well, at least now I can talk about the War of Northern Aggression.

"65% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!"

I thought I escaped my Georgia/Florida upbringing. I didn't realize that regions shape vocabulary words.I don't speak with a southern accent, though.

53% Dixie? I was born in Canada and I've never lived in the south. Perhaps the South is rising again.

65% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score! I figure this is odd considering that I live in East Central Mississippi. According to television and movies I should be at 200%.

I got 57% Dixie. I grew up in WA but my mom's side hails from Arkansas so that must be what happened.

I really, really miss coffee milk...a lot. Do you have it in Maine? They make the syrup in RI. Ran out several years ago. I found that if I make really strong coffee and use a ratio of about 1:12 and a bunch of sugar, it tastes like coffee milk.

[quote=FrielWatcher;477422][quote=Curt;477262]I do an urban mission trip to South Providence (my old neighborhood) each summer. I have a large bottle of Autocrat syrup in my kitchen!

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)

[quote=Curt;477425][quote=FrielWatcher;477422]I lived on S. Court St, next to RISD and sort of by Brown. Then in West Warwick during the time of the Station fire - lived in Arctic (if you know where that is). And for the PBer's it is pronounced Ahh-tick.

Miss the heck out of it there. My wife went to URI so we will have to do an alum trip there some day. Oh, yeah, also live in Point Judith, south Narragansett. Awesome to have you bring up these great memories.

Thanks to my New Englander Parent's. I was born & raised in Virginia. My language is influenced by my folks. My parents are Southerners at heart, though; that's why they moved down here, after all. If you asked my wife to take this quiz...she'd probably score a 100%. Born in SE Missouri, moved to Virginia when she was 6 and lived around a lot of Old Order Mennonites in the Shenandoah Valley...very heavy southern accents...

That was fun!

Me too. Even though I have lived in CO and CA most of my life. It must be because my family is all from MO (pronounced Mizzourah). Is MO south of the Mason Dixon Line?
