I mean, of course "y'all" and "coke" are southern, but rolling?

This is another cool accent test that plots you in the US according to how you say certain words, like "aunt" and "cot/caught." And what's cool about it is that whatever multiple choice thingy you choose, it tells you immediately where that idiom is from. So you can click on them all, like I did, to see what they mean. :)

And apparently I am 70% (

31% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee.

I'm perfectly content to be a blue stater, but was kind of hoping for:

when a group of people are standing sequentially, waiting their turn for something... what are they doing? :P

Well, it's not getting on the internet, that's for sure.

44% (Yankee). Barely in the Yankee category.

Wow. Wasn't really expecting that. Must be the whole west-coaster thing (plus my use of "y'all," which I picked up at Swat)... that quiz seems to emphasize the Northeast in its definition of "Yankee."

[ravenjewel]

Yeah.. and I don't really see this country's linguistic patterns as Yankee/Southerner. There are lots more variations.

I also got "you are definitely a yankee"... but I don't know anyone who has TAG sales. we call them stoop sales or sidewalk sales, usually.

[ravenjewel]

Yard sales and garage sales are different things, as is a sidewalk/stoop sale. It depends on where it is, dude!

36% (Yankee). You are definitely a Yankee. -->Hardly surprising considering I immediately identified all the ones that listed Pennsylvania specifically. Go PA! :-)

Since I am from near Pittsburgh, I find this site entertaining:

Yeah, I wish there was more than just Yankee/Southerner. Isn't there one somewhere that can plot you on the country or something?

[ravenjewel]

I so wish I actually had an accent.
