What Kind of American English Do You Speak?
I found this cool quiz on The shaping of myself towards a more grown-up form. Here is the variety of American English that I speak:
Your Linguistic Profile: |
70% General American English |
10% Upper Midwestern |
10% Yankee |
5% Dixie |
5% Midwestern |
(Note to Melissa: It's pronounced "Car-mul", not "Care-a-mell".) :-)
Here's the quiz if you'd like to take it yourself: What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

Ich nicht spracht Deutsche, pero yo hablar Espanjo un poco...yo no soy ma dinero soy capitan, soy capitan, soy capitan. Comprende vous?
I scored 65 general, 15 midwest, 15 yankee. This makes sense since I am from the midwest. One problem with the quiz, where I am from, a drinking fountain is called a Bubbler, so I couldn'r answer that question.
Cool quiz.
I also can't type
