I snagged this from Sylvana's site. It's interesting...

Your Linguistic Profile:

55% General American English

20% Upper Midwestern

15% Dixie

10% Yankee

0% Midwestern

I guess I fit in perfectly with the Yankees and the Rebels equally. Nice to know! I also suppose that Colorado is considered Western & not midwestern? I think I got my Dixie Speak from Rhonda who's parents were from Alabama. I picked up a lot from her when we were growing up.

Also, I'm having lunch today with two friends that I went to school with. I've been friends with Billie Jo since we were cheerleaders in junior high and recently started hanging out with her again a year ago but Troy I haven't seen since high school. I've known him since 3rd grade, as long as I've known Shanon! I have another friend named Troy and I found out that both Troys have the same birthday..same day, same year...both their last names start with "ST". I mentioned the coincidence to Collin and he asked, "Are they the Troy & the Anti-Troy? Maybe if you get them together, they'll explode."
