Heard that as well, work with a lot of Brits and have some friends from the South (North Carolina and Arkansas) ...my brother in law is from Queens, NY and I have to say I agree with you.

Unsurprising. The variety of English spoken in Ontario is alot like "Yankee" english (minus the accent, of course ).

I'm a transplant. (moved from North to South)

By the way, when I was growing up in the midwest, Soda was referred to as "PoP".

On the Advanced test 100% Dixie again... thats right genuine for real southerner as if yall didn't know.

Number 6 on the advance test did worry me a bit cause "Hey yall" wasn't one of the choices.

Now I can sleep up a storm know my Dixieness is tested.
Texas is now the Northern Republic of Mexico by the way.

BASIC: 36% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.
ADVANCED: 13% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!

Makes sense, grew up in Philly (1986-2003), and the family has since moved to Charlotte (2003-2006) and south Florida (2006- ).

I'm from Vermont.

We just plain hate everybody, North or South, who isn't from Vermont.

You're all a bunch of damn flatlanders.

The original test told me I was a Yankee. I do spend time in Minnesota most years.

Took the advanced test and it spotted that I am, in fact, English.

The big mystery to me is, what is grits?

When I did the quick test I got 53% Dixie. Barely in Dixie. And on the advanced test (and it did notice I was English too) 15% Dixie. Wow! You are a Duke of Yankeedom!

Some of the answers given were not what I would have chosen, so I just went for the nearest
