After I took the test, the result said: "40% (Yankee). There are traces of Yankee in you."

Now is that a good thing or a bad thing? And, I don't want to hear from Todd or any of his 10,000 cousins!

[Agent M79]

"38% (Yankee). You have a good Yankee score.", y'all.

[TheDealer]

[jabird56]

[Petrograde]

42% traces of Yankee. Born in Georgia, raised in South Florida back when it was part of the US. Lived in Charleston, SC, for 9 yrs, Norfolk, VA, 9 yrs, Honolulu, HI, for 8 yrs, Balston Spa, NY for 1 yr., El Paso, TX, for 1 yr., New London, CT, 1 yr. I guess the most yankee influence was my parents, both were from Boston, MA. I really like the country style of living but, I have had a great time wherever I have lived in the great United State of America. I tyhink there are more Red Necks in the North East than the South. You just have to get out of the city to see them.

[CRUZTAKER]

33%. I spent alot of time in georgia and florida as a youth, but Ohio is my ground.

[woaface]

40% (Yankee). You have a good Yankee score.

I've been in the south a little longer than I thought. Just seeing some of those old phrases made me smile...but of course I hafta pick what I've used over the past several years.

[miamisilvermm]

44% here, must be them tourists.

[woaface]

44% here, must be them tourists.
The one's that honk their horns in tunnels? Oh no wait...that's you on vacation up north:P :D

[MarauderMark]

44% Heh i was born and raised in philly.Now i live in Maryland..thought the percentage would be higher..

[FordNut]

Only 68% (Dixie). I guess I picked up some contamination from all my travelling!

[dok]

36% Born in Iowa and lived near Albany NY for 30 years before moving to NC 5 years ago.

[dwasson]

Only 68% (Dixie). I guess I picked up some contamination from all my travelling!

It looks like the only people who would get more than about 70% would be older people in the deep south. I think the only people who score less than 25% would be older people in rural New England. I think that television and modern media has smoothed out the accents we used to have.

I got 44%, which seems logical. I was raised in Detroit and my parents are from the south.

[TAF]

72% (Dixie)I know this is a shock to y'all...

[jrzygrl]

35% Yankee, born in North Jersey, living in Chicago area for 31 yrs. What a mix of answers there. When I first moved to Illinois and someone asked me if I wanted a POP! I put my fists up to defend myself? WTF was a POP? It was a SODA to me, Bill and I still argue over the way to pronounce "RADIATOR", LOL........

[MMdriver03]

I got 29%....Must be sumthin in tha ayya!! eyaauupp. :lol:

[MM03MOK]

I guess the most yankee influence was my parents, both were from Boston, MA.:up:

But then I went back and aswered all the questions with the most "northeast" or "north" answer and got 33%. I don't think 0% is possible! I'm also told I don't have a Bah-stun accent, but have never lived more than 60 miles from Boston my whole life.

[TAF]

I don't want to go...

If Heaven aint a LOT like Dixie...
