Check this out.
For my Miami friends who tell me I now sound like a southerner, and for my Nashville friends who still say I sound like a Yankee, I present the following evidence that I am neither. I speak proper general English (which is more than I can say for a lot of people I encounter) with minor southern (dixie) and yankee influences creeping in to my speech which I attribute to my last eight years in Nashville (y'all), and all my previous years in Miami (ya know).
Take the test yourself and see where you rate.
Have to give credit where credit is due. I stole this link from Brother Terry's blog http://brotherterry.blogspot.com/ who I found as a link on Girl Gone Great's blog http://girlgonegreat.blogspot.com/. I've grown fond of reading Girl's blog daily as a lot of her entries and her sarcasm reminds me of myself. Check it out. I reccomend Day in the Life (there's two of them, both great and FUNNY), Oh My God I'm Hungry, and OOOoooOOooo Cookies.

Amber,
Great idea!
Mine is on my blog. I tried to paste it here but it doesn't allow tables
I took the quiz but it wouldn't load right on my blog. I am a Heinz 57. I have lived in too many different places and picked up too many ways of saying things. Including three different ways of saying Coca cola.
Amber, just two weeks ago we were trying to talk you into blogging. Now your giving us leads to cool blogs you have found. I find that very humorous!
I have also found girls blog to be interesting, but I haven't the time to read all her entries. It's hard enough keeping up with just my friends!
