With this internet thing (hope it catches on), we now have the world – and beyond – at our fingertips. Just the same though, we all still have our own quirks, dialects and traits associated with our heritage. Many of us have moved in our lifetimes, and whether it’s across a country or across the street, our tendencies still tend to follow us.
Take the Yankee or Dixie quiz to see if you’re really as far away from the Mason-Dixon line as you think.

Your Yankee or Dixie score
Jamon Abercrombie
Springfield, MO
St. Louis, MO
51% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.
Christine Myers
Ravenna, OH
Akron, OH
65% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!
FYI – I lived in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia for 7 years while in college & seminary. So I had a hard time choosing for a few of those because I use different words and pronunciations interchangeably.
Adam Nutting
Agency Missouri
Overland Park Kansas
66% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!
Lance Fetters
Russvegas, Arkansas
87% Dixie-Seriously Jamon, let’s be realistic. This is no surprise.
you’re right Lance, that’s no surprise … especially since the name I have for you in my contacts list is “Woo pig sooie!!! Lance”
Randy Dustin
Wayland, MO
Plymouth, NH
48% (Yankee)
