***Your Linguistic Profile::*** 40% General American English 25% Yankee 15% Dixie 15% Upper Midwestern 0% Midwestern What Kind of American English Do You Speak? http://www.blogthings.com/whatkindofamericanenglishdoyouspeakquiz/ *********** My mother came from Europe when she was 16, and my dad is a 1st generation American, whose parents only spoke Italian (Sicilian). Many of the phrases I tend to use aren't even -on- the charts, as I suspect that they were brought in from Europe -- I ended up having to answer some of these using the phrases that I -rephrased- as when I used what I grew up knowing, but nobody in my immediate vicinity understood me. *chuckles* LZ
