I didn't think I was any- but then I did spend 7 months in Georgia the year after I graduated from college.

33% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.
Hmmm, I'm Canadian. I have no accent. :D :D
99% Dixie on both the basic and advanced tests.
Gen'l Lee ain't my granddaddy, but Vice President Stephens is my first cousin, five times removed.
Tom
Hee hee.
20% Dixie. Wow, you are a duke of yankeedom!
Umm, I think I actually am. The 20% is probably accounted for by the fact that my mom is from Alabama. Dad is from super waspy area of Connecticut and those are the relatives I actually know (Mom LEFT the south).
However, I take exception to the statement that "New York and New Jersey are the heart of Yankeedom" (possible response for question #7). Shows that this test was written by a southerner. Umm, those are both Mid-atlantic states and Yankees hail from New England. What about "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court"? If I had to pinpoint the heart of Yankeedom it would probably be somewhere in Massachusetts, Boston perhaps.
You can tell an authentic yankee by his or her accent (maybe proving that I'm not one, 'cause I have lots of "common all over the US" answers) and variants of that beautiful New England accent are not to be found in New York or New Jersey, but are easy to find in Maine or New Hampshire, or Vermont, or even Mass.
OMG! My results were: 100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?! :D
Tom, dangit! you beat me, I was awl proud a my 96%. And no, I ain't related to General Lee neither. (oh sandra posted at the same time! yep she beat me too, but she still lives there)
I've lived just 4 miles north of the extended Mason-Dixon line for about 7 years now.
born in Alabama, family is from South Alabama, West Florida and East Georgia. After graduating from The University of Alabama we moved to Tennesse.
There's an advanced test? 100% on that one
I've been to one or two Alabama-Auburn games :D (Mom graduated from University of Alabama)...
11% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!
and I'm from the other side of the world. What's Yankeedom?????:D
I was hooked by the title - I thought it may be your favourite pick-up lines :)

I could hardly understand the people in Maine. I thought they had a British accent. But it was a lovely accent. We were a crew at our cabin in Maine with our mixture of Boston and Southern accents. :eek:
Deep, deep South; you should come up for air.
100% Dixie.
Is General Lee your grandfather?!- close- ditto what Pscyclepath said about VP Stephens . . .
What I really want to know is what did he get wrong to not get a 100?
Gee, that's the first time in 44 years that I outscored my brother on a test! :D
At Legion Field in B'ham? The day that Bear Bryant passed away was probably a bigger deal that Kennedy. Mr. was at Bama then.Quote:

Yankees- abroad it means folks from the United States- here in the states it means the folks that wore dark blue in what we Mississippians like to call the Recent Unpleasantness- more commonly refered to as the Civil War (1861-65).
Pscyclepath can tell you a lot more about it- he's the family historian & a Civil War re-enactor.

So I just took the advanced test and got
18% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!
And they didn't have my pronunciation for oil.
# AW-wee-yul
# OH-wuhl

Really?
How about "OYL"?
Same here Mimi - that's what we get for being North Easterners
I can't believe all y'all are scoring so low! :D
