What did you say!?!

My friend Ara sent me a link to a speech evaluation test. It asks questions about how you pronounce certain words or what descriptive phrases you use. Then it scores your speech for it's "Yankee" or "Rebel" influences. Pretty cute. I only scored 73% Dixie which must be the influence of my English teaching Grandma and my Midwestern husband. (Note: for any international visitors this probably won't be appealing unless you want to know what a "crawdad" is. Sorry, I couldn't find an Aussie test, Terri!)

If you take the test, leave a comment and let us know your score.

"76% Dixie, My neck must be a little pink" was the statement.

"100% Dixie. Is General Lee your grandfather?!"

Is there something wrong with me or do I win a prize?

I don't know Trillia - I think that beautiful brown has some rosy undertones!

Wow Laura, I would have guessed higher than 78%.

Yes, Suzanne, you win a corncob pipe!

86% Dixie. Do you still use Confederate money?
