Language thingy

60% General American English

15% Dixie

15% Yankee

10% Upper Midwestern

0% Midwestern

Considering I learned English in Illinois and only in Illinois, I have no idea where the "Dixie" and "Yankee" come from. What is Dixie?

Current Mood:

bored

Current Music: "Is This Love" - Earth
