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.

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
