Lived most of my life in Florida, 4 years in North Carolina and a year in Texas. I've only been north of the Carolinas once in my life.

12. Interesting: 75% Dixie though most of my picks were national speech

patterns or "Chicago, or NE" patterns.... So, I don't quite get how it scores. However, as a "westerner-midwesterner" who did live several years in the deep south, it may well be accurate.

[madrchsod]

in the northern part of the country yet i`m a dixie...hmm, i`ve lived in northern il for 57 years. dumb test.

[GOPisEvil]
