How do you score?

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.
