I think it means I speak fairly normal “American”, but since I say y’all I get the little bit of Dixie there.
55% General English, 25% Dixie, 20% Yankee. Seems like a strange mix to me!

The other quizzes are fun too, my actual age turned out to be my biological age (30) but I did find out I’m going to die at 58…bummer.

But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself

Lived in Lafayette for a year as a kid. I thought that was where I got my 10% Dixie since it’s as close to the south as I’ve ever lived.
