Luigi Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 61% Dixie. I was looking for lots of other distictions that weren't tested: Frying pan/Skillet Gutter/Downspouts Dragonfly/Devil's darning needle Greasy (hard 's')/greasy ('z') Eaves/Overhang Terms of endearment such as 'baby,' 'honey,' 'darlin','or 'sugar' How is 'smothered' food cooked?

Luigi Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 [quote name='Groo the Wanderer' date='22 May 2010 - 12:29 PM' timestamp='1274545786' post='2115394'] 54% Dixie. Barely in Dixie The remainder mainly show a heavy NE influence which is so sad. I lived in Reno, NV until I was seven then finally hightailed it to TX. Must be a boatload of yankees in my family negatively influencing my speech patterns... [/quote] Blame it on the national media - they almost won't put an anchor on national television unless they speak an upper MIdwest dialect that most people consider "unaccented".
