wispfoxYankee/Southern quiz thingy: 41% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category. [I kept running into cases where I use multiple versions of words. Probably because my parents are from Wisconsin, I was in Pennsylvania until age 8, then moved to New Hampshire. Multiple words are valid!

So your mileage (and mine) will vary..

Amusingly, you're not the only Canadian whose score on that test I saw telling them they were Southern. Strange!

So far as I can tell non-Americans generally have NO idea of the implications of the word "Yankee," or that it means anything other than "American".
