Well, I scored 60% on the first test--barely in Dixie
But I only scored 14% on the advanced test.

Hmmmm....

52%, "barely in Dixie." Which is about right for an Appalachian transplant. (Which rhymes with apple-catchin', btw.) But 79% on the advanced test!
I have to object to the question about "route," though.
Rhymes with "root" (which rhymes with "put"), no.
Rhymes with "rout" (which rhymes with "doubt"), no.
Almost rhymes with "rut" (which rhymes with "butt"), no.
"Route" rhymes with "coot." Of course.

Uh no, I don't think so.

They both rhyme with "hoot" and "toot" and "shoot" although sometimes, I say "route" rhyming with "shout".It is never too late to be what you might have been. ~ George Elliot

73%, my neck is a little Rosy.
Full disclosure. My dad was born and grew up in Northern Louisiana. I was born in Mississippi but I've only been back to Biloxi a few times.re-cur-sion ri'-ker-shen n: see recursion

I loved this!
The first one I got 83% Dixie - Do you still use Confederate money? And on the advanced one I got 49% Barely in Yankeedom. It makes sense though, I used to live in Maryland but I'm now in Canada so my accent is all kinds of mixed up.
I always wanted a Southern accent though and was told I had one when I moved here, so I'm gonna take the 83% and run with it
I do say "eh" for kicks and giggles though now.

61% Dixie.Well under the Mason-Dixon Line.
Not bad for a "buoy from Burminham Alabamy..." must have been my sophisticated southern breeding and all those years of private school...ya'll.
Yes, I was at 'Bama when "BARe Bryant" died...I was actually in Accounting 201 taught by Gorman Jones (now that's an Alabama name!)If you don't grow where you're planted, you'll never BLOOM - Will Rogers
