Language

As I'm actively not writing my paper, I am reading the blogs of many an academic (Sometime soon I'll post links to the ones I read and lurk at). Lots of them are doing this fun little quiz, so what the heck, I will too.

Your Linguistic Profile:

70% General American English
15% Upper Midwestern
10% Yankee
5% Midwestern
0% Dixie


I first saw this at MFA.

I know its hard to read, but mine says 70% General American 15% Upper Midwestern 10% Yankee 5% Midwestern 0% Dixie. It would be interesting to see a map and know what the difference is betweeen, say, upper and general Midwestern.
