My Linguistic Profile:

50% General American English
25% Yankee
15% Dixie
5% Midwestern
0% Upper Midwestern

Considering I've never been to the states, I thought that mine would be close to 100% GAE

I've never lived in the UK, but I've read so many British books that I think I could take a test on British English and do pretty well on it. I've picked up a lot of British slang over the years.

The sunshower one (raining while the sun is shining). Guess it comes from the PA side of the family - or maybe the side that came here from Canada . Everything else was exactly the same! :agree:

"sunshower" - what a cute word! Never heard of it, but I am thinking I will be using it now!
