The Rebel-Yankee Language Test

One of the interesting things about reading blogs from around the globe is seeing the differences in spelling and speech. For example, do you put your dishes in a kitchen cabinet or cupboard? Do you go to the movies or the cinema? (or maybe the theater...or theatre)

Talking to Debby on the phone last week reminded me of a "Rebel-Yankee Test" that I posted on my old 360 blog several years ago. I took the test again today and came up with a score of "83% Dixie". Considering I was born and raised in the South you'd think I'd be at least 90% Dixie!! I'm not sure how it will work for those who don't live in the U.S., but you could still give it a try. Click on the link below and see if you talk more like a Yankee or a Southerner!
