Quick test for regionality
Have you seen this website? http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/yankeetest.html
Have some arguments with it, but fun anyway. Would propose a couple of other questions, too....

Scored 47% barely yankee yet I was born and brought up in New England. Have to admit though I've lived up and down the east coast so I guess I'm a neuter!!!!
Now living and retired in the great state of Montana.

Hey, that was pretty good! I 'just barely Yankee' (50%) which would seem strange since I'm Canadian but we spend a lot of time in the southern US and lived in NJ for several years.
Still, there were a few answers where it could be two of four.

Huh! 40% full Yankee, although a lot of my answers were "Great Lakes." I don't even like the question about what you call a group of people ("you-all," "y'all", etc.) because I grew up saying just "you," with no "all" whatsoever. But after a long time in NC, I do say "y'all" from time to time because I think it's useful and gentler when you're saying something like, "we may get hurricanes but y'all get earthquakes."

43% Yankee (Barely) Well, thank goodness
as I've been a Westerner my entire life ! AZ,CO&CA, with a brief year in Boston. Test leaves out about half of the US-with a brief nod to CA on the soda question. Love to be in on the new an improved re-write version!

48% Yankee (barely Yankee). :0) that was fun! I was born and raised in Vegas, however we have so many people moving here from "everywhere" that we get/hear/use a broad range of terms. I have to say though, that it IS definitely a sub sandwich NOT a hoagie!

49% Barely Yankee. considering that I have lived all my long,long life in the Deep Deep South, I must be one mixed up person. Maybe it has something to do with living in a port city with lots of tourists.
