I thought this was interesting. I spent my K-7 years in Shreveport, Louisiana and my mother was from Baton Rouge. That must be the Dixie part, although I don't have any kind of a southern accent. I always thought I was western or neutral. Shazam, what a shock to find out I'm 5% Yankee. You'd think that if I was 30% Dixie then I'd be 5% Damn Yankee.
So it would seem.

I was born in Baton Rouge and now live in central Louisiana. I don't consider myself to have a southern accent either. We probably have the same Dixie quirks, but I have no clue what the yankee could be from. I was also disturbed that my score didn't add to 100 until I realized that I didn't answer the one about the easy class because I didn't recognize even one of the choices. I've written too much - sorry.
