92% Dixie. After living here 5 years my vernicular has changed. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

40%. It thinks I am a yankee. I am really a mountain girl.
To me, (please take this with a grain of salt ), this is an example of the stereotypical Easterner's perspective that there are 4 regions in the US. The North, the South, the Midwest (which really has nothing to do with the middle, or the west if you look at a map), and California. Hmm, there's a lot of ignored land in this scenario, and I am from that region. I realize the quiz is just for fun, but to call me a yankee is quite ridiculous!

71% Dixie. Born, bred and educated in Indiana. For a few of them, I chose the response that is specific to Indiana. Good to know that I fit in here.

35% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.
Born in Massachusetts but raised all over the world...settled in Illinois. I guess it's fairly accurate.

"82% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?"
Hmmm...I've lived in the South all of my life, but most people guess that I'm from the mid west to hear me speak. Odd...Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...

That test is whacked.
I'm 44% Dixie, but yet only 1 of my responses was labeled as 'southern'. And that's just association by marriage (I married a Southerner, so a crawfish is a crawfish)!
I'm about 1% Dixie, in reality.
What I did find funny is that the largest % of my answeres were Michigan/Great Lakes in origin. I only lived there for 3 years!My new non-farm blog: Finding Freedom

63% Dixie.Well under the Mason-Dixon Line
We're all from Kentucky, I guess that's accurate!
