What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

I would have thought I was more "Dixie," but then I'm only half-cracker, genetically. Still, I'm surprised that "Yankee" has the edge. (And I actually do sometimes refer to carbonated beverages as "pop," but only because -- thanks to tests like this -- I'm hyperconscious of its regional inappropriateness.)

Oh, and happy Cinco de Mayo!  To celebrate, why not go out and defeat a French expeditionary force?  Shouldn't be hard!  (It's funny because all French people are cowards.)

I'm 75% general, with 15% Yankee, and 5% percent each Dixie and Midwestern. I feel so blah now.

I'm just glad that I don't have a Chicago accent. Yikes. Although I have found that when talk about Chapel Hill, I subconciously affect a drawl.

What does this mean? Did I successfully shuck off my entire culture, or were the right answers were not there? Question 9 is always a roundabout. Question 10 is a caker. Question 13 is a trolley. Question 14 is gutties.
