What Kind of American English Do You Speak?
I would have been very sad if I hadn't scored high on Yankee. I feel like I have a lot of weird New York-isms that not everyone has, which I think distinguishes me and my high school friends from all my friends who moved to NYC from some random place.

I found myself thinking "I used to say ___" for a lot of those. I guess that's what 19 years on the east coast, and 10 years on the west coast does to you.

I'm a good marylander, splitting the yankee and dixie. I blame the upper midwesterner on seattle.
