Oh my garsh! How could I be 20 per cent Midwestern and you 0% when we talk the same! -- just because yer a Warshingonian ...

[eekhoorn]

Although in actuality -- at least from a linguistics perspective -- that quiz is pretty much bogus.

[justplainzach]

Agreed. But still fun.

I also got 25% Yankee to your 10%. Ha! Take that!

I KNOW I have more of a southern accent then You do. though both of us are unquestionably californian.
unless you've started saying "pop" instead of soda, or clothes-pegs, or other such oddities.

I wonder if the upper midwestern in both of ours is thanks to a certain coxwain. boat with an umlaut and all.
