A'yuh, y'all can have some fun with this

Do you speak Yankee or Dixie?

This is a little quiz based on the Harvard Computer Society Dialect Survey to show whether your speech is more northern or southern (sorry, midwest, you don't get a category of your own.) I'm 53% Dixie, which makes perfect sense, given my location just south of the Mason-Dixon line.

The actual results of the Harvard survey are pretty fun to look at, too...you can see how people in your state mispronounce things and that a smattering of New Englanders seems to think that "shotgun" is called "hosey."
