[Only 5% southern speak has crept in after over 10 years in the South. Must be the occasional “y’all” that slips out.]

Ten years? I had no idea you’d been there that long.
Nice score Max. I gather General American English is the one with less regional accents?
Kitty it’s really been over ten years it is coming up to 15. It is hard to believe I have been here so long.

Hey, Michele. I’m more Southern than you. Or, musical wiseass Robbie Fulks would say, “countrier than thou”. As in:
You weren’t raised in a shack
So you better not act
Countrier than thou
Although that survey didn’t seem to be especially strong mathematically, since nobody’s linguistic profile seemed to add up to 100%.
Plus at least one typo.l
I would do this test but the fact remains, I am an Aussie.
BruddahBob, I am appalled that a Brooklyn boy has 15% Dixie how the hell did that happen?
Oh aj you should take the test for fun.
It must be them dern internets.
Okay you are speaking Dixie AND up at 8 am – I am so confused.
