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*

Except they didn't give Me a choice on the basement/cellar question.  I call it a lower level.  I had to choose basement since that would be My second choice.
 
*Edited to add:  I just realized that only adds up to 95%, and I did a copy and paste.  I wonder what the other 5% is supposed to be.  I must have really confused that computer program!
 
**Second edit:  I am noticing that the few I added quickly are only coming up to 95%, also.  Guess the other 5% is just whatever!
