Well, I can't explain my score:
55% General American English
25% Yankee
15% Dixie
5% Upper Midwestern
0% Midwestern
I was born and raised in Toronto, but I've lived a good chunk of my adult life in the U.S. Some Canadians tell me that I sound American; some Americans say that they can hear the infamous "out/about" thing. I've never heard it.
But where on earth did the Dixie come from? I've lived outside of New York City and in California. My only idea is that for a couple of the questions, I had never heard of the answer choices, or at least never used any of them. So I arbitrarily picked one - maybe those were "Dixie" choices and enough to skew the score. Or maybe I could blame it on the 3.5 years I spent in Germany...
