Keef pointed me to this interesting quiz in which you can find out what kind of American English you speak. Here is my breakdown:
Jane’s Linguistic Profile: |
| 65% General American English |
| 20% Dixie |
| 10% Upper Midwestern |
| 5% Yankee |
| 0% Midwestern |

Oh, it is all Coke people. Not soda or Pop. Coke. It really drives Mr. Rochester crazy that I refuse to change my generic word for carbonated beverages.
