Electoral Math

The Electoral Math of Social Security, or, Karl Rove's fuzzy math, part #870 | Home | Medical Malpractice Policy: France

Yeah, That's About Right
Now Playing: Franz Ferdinand / Frand Ferdinand / This Fire

Your Linguistic Profile:

50% General American English

35% Dixie

10% Yankee

5% Upper Midwestern

0% Midwestern

That makes good sense for someone who was raised in the South and later picked up a few Northernisms while at college. The only reason the 5% Upper Midwestern shows up is that I know that October 30th is Devil's Night. Thank you, Brandon Lee.

And Big Media Matt is right, this really doesn't do enough to expose regional word choices outside of the South. It doesn't try to settle the on line/in line controversy or the sub/hoagie/grinder kerfuffle. You need to go to the Harvard Dialect Survey for a more complete set of results. Also curious is the apparent lack of any sort of West Coast dialect. "Hella", anyone?
