I'm bordering on 'Real' English when I want to make the effort of hiding my Dutch background.

Well, there is no choice for the way I´d say some of those things. I guess those Americans with Scottish roots have forgotten some of the of the old parliamo.

For one thing we never said pop, soda or coke, we said ginger and ´a blow off´was a polite reference to flatulence.

 

I guess I'm the only one here that speak spanglish.( It's what you lean in a place with both english and spanish as a language).

 

I'm about 90% General American....
Born in Michigan - spent from 2yrs old to 8 years old in North Carolina

What would have determined 'Midwest'?

I heard a little girl say that in Kentucky. It's great!

"Well bless his little heart!"

I have some canadian influence from living in north idaho for 8 years.

Also, what does this mean? never ever heard of it:
10. What do you call an easy class?

A crip course
A gut
A blow off

I left it blank, thats probably why I'm 10% yank

 

Just took this test- I think it may be correct cause people dont' understand me much.

You sure do march to your own beat...
But you're so weird, people wonder if it's a beat at all
You think on a totally different wavelength

Hmmmm....so funnie to hear others comments. I guess I took "TPing" all these years for granted. How can you have a childhood without toilet papering someone's house???


I have to admit though...I heard people arguing about 'jimmies' awhile back and I had no idea what they were talking about. We always called them sprinkles.

As a native California girl I wanted to know why it didn't include an option for that. So sad. Show me a 35 year old who gives direction in hours (not mileage), says "stoked", and pronounces milk as "melk"...and I'll show you someone who grew up in California.

I do say y'all though. Ten years in Oklahoma and I'm a mashup of bastard English.

Funny that I'm 0% Midwestern.

 

That's why I wondering how that thing is scored. I've lived in or around chicago my whole life and I am 0% Midwestern?

BTW- I wear "gym shoes"!
