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?

Let me know how you score!

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.
