Then I moved to Connecticut. It was a bit of a culture shock. They said 'soda'. So I picked that up.<BR/><BR/>But now I just say 'coke' (or Pepsi).<BR/><BR/>And that 15% Dixie blew me away!!<BR/><BR/>That's all Virginia. Moving to Virginia was the biggest culture shock of all my moves.Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03069871911665125873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1148053625707703362006-05-19T09:47:00.000-06:002006-05-19T09:47:00.000-06:0065-20-10 - General-Yankee-Dixie and whatever 5% a ...65-20-10 - General-Yankee-Dixie and whatever 5% a "yes" answer to question 18 (<I>Do you pronounce "aunt" like "ant"?</I>) would add if it were being included in the result.lonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13329414340481290010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1148052508103110582006-05-19T09:28:00.000-06:002006-05-19T09:28:00.000-06:00Forty ----- Gen AmerFoty-Fi --- DixieFiteen ---- U...Forty ----- Gen Amer<BR/>Foty-Fi --- Dixie<BR/>Fiteen ---- Uhsawt'd uthabuddy larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760847873026506988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1148041197632290902006-05-19T06:19:00.000-06:002006-05-19T06:19:00.000-06:0045% General American English 20% Yankee15% Upper M...45% General American English <BR/>20% Yankee<BR/>15% Upper Midwestern<BR/>10% Midwestern<BR/>5% Dixie<BR/><BR/>Hmmmm...taht 5% must come from my time in the army.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02521739006999750126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1148036510677041762006-05-19T05:01:00.000-06:002006-05-19T05:01:00.000-06:0055% General American English20% Dixie10% Upper Mid...55% General American English<BR/>20% Dixie<BR/>10% Upper Midwestern<BR/>10% Yankee<BR/>0% Midwestern<BR/><BR/>A little less yankee and a little more Dixie..no surprise there.terryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609746018265953069noreply@blogger.com
