Yankee or a Rebel?Follow

Heard about this quiz on NPR, and the announcer was saying that Europeans tend to score more on the Southern side, since it's closer to an English accent, and that west of Ohio, there is no accent to speak of. He also mentioned that there is no significant data on the Hispanic population and how it's affected the accents, so I wanted to take the test and see how I scored.


So much for my time in the South. Most of my answers, strangely enough, came from the Great Lakes regions, with the notable Southern exception being that I knew what a brew-thru was.

You have to get onto and off of the highway somehow...

Uncanny!

Yes, they're called 'exits'. I don't think that's what they mean though, as those are on-ramps and off-ramps, depending of course if you are coming or going.

We don't have roads beside the highways here and our Industrial Parks are in the woods. Go figure /shrug

What do you have right next to the highways? Nothing? Here we have strip malls, industrial parks, etc and the access roads are how we get to those. It is pretty common to take an exit and then immediately get on another road that runs right along the highway, between the exits.

Trees.


Though if you drive long enough I'm pretty sure you will come across a gas station or a rest stop along the way.

67% rebel, just below the mason dixon

Don't worry, you're young still. Hell, you might even still go gay. The world's your oyster!

"Yankee?" Ooooohhhh, you mean "Damnyankee!" Lrn 2 spel!

Well that's odd. I've lived in New York my entire life, my family is from and frequently visits Ohio/the Great Lakes region, and I've only been south of the M-D three times in my life. Somewhere, though, I started using "y'all". And, being a Red Sox fan, I guess I'm glad I *wasn't* labelled a fullblood Yank.
