Are you a Yankee or a Rebel?
Fun and interesting story today on NPR.
A linguistics expert has develped a test that'll show if you're a Yankee or a Rebel based on how you pronounce certain words and also phrases you commonly use.
I'm a Yankee. If you want to try, here's the link to the test:

Okay - I've tried to post this FOUR times...let's see if this one works....
99% Dixie...which speaks to my Mississippi birth and New Orleans upbringing.
DS#1 got an 81% Dixie (that's what I get for marrying a Yank!)

33% Dixie. I'm a Yankee, actually a Californian, which I believe is a subset of Yankee. My Dixie score would have been lower, because I gave the only answer I had evern heard of to the last question. It was classified as Dixie, although I never have heard of "roll-up bugs" and have therefore never called them anything.
That being said, I love lots of southern food. And the blues and jazz.
