okay, this will prove where you're from

Here's one not in the quiz.

People are waiting to check out at the supermarket. New Jersey/New York folks say they are "on the line." Pennsylvania people say they are "in line."

no, silly, it's "on line"

[guanajagirl]

OMG it says iam a Yankee! NO!!!!!!!

[maillotpois]

I got "The West" . Which is appropriate. Funny.

[nancielle]

I got Inland North Born, raised and continue to live in Massachusetts. Have never referred to carbonated drinks as "pop". Must be all those years of listening to "A Prairie Home Companion."

[Trekhawk]

LOL - apparently If I was American I would be from the Northeast.
Philadelphia was at the top of the list. Hmm what do you think girls would I blend in in Philadelphia??:

Inland North:
When I was a kid it was always a pop, back in Buffalo, Ny.
Lived in Colorado at 16 for sports and had to adjust, no one understood me. So majored in English. In a fit you will here the Cuban , New yorker out of me.
My HB laughs every time I say Doll babies (dow, for me) or whataya doen.

So I'm Canadian, married (not merried or maried) to an Cali boy, traveled extensively and I speak 3 languages. The test says I have no accent. The people I work with would beg to differ.

The funniest stuff is the medical terms. I say cervical sir-vike (like bike)-all, with the emphasis on the vike.
My partner says sir- vick-ull, with the emhasis on the sir. Half the time we can't understand each other. The other thing that's funny is that an ACE bandage in Canada is a tensor bandage. I had a heck of a time trying to get one for one of my clients here. And I say bum to refer to my rear-end, which makes everyone laugh.

Finally, no matter how hard I try, I will never be able to say about like an American.

Wahine, you don't have to say about like an american. So that's how we can tell where you're from
My husband does a lot of correspondence with Lloyds of London. He showed me an email that he was writing; "Thank you for your advices" and he said it was CORRECT!!

Most of the UK and Canadian folks here on TE don't have to speak for an American to know where they're from...just look for the extra "U's" (colour, behaviour, honour).

[Aint Doody]

Although I've lived in Eastern OR for 15 years, it nailed me as Southern. 'Course I was in Mississippi for 43 years first.

[SheFly]

no, silly, it's "on line"

And in Canada, it's "in line" or "in the queue"....

SheFly

p.s.
Growing up, it was always pop, but living for the past 11 years in MA, now it's soda....
