Just in Case You Wondered
My Linguistic Profile: |

| 15% Upper Midwestern |
| 5% Dixie |
| 0% Midwestern |
| 0% Yankee |
{Well, that's what they said. I note they didn't include reference to the American Western accent! I think some people would give me 90% on that. People sometimes think I talk like a southerner, with a pronounced drawl. Hardly ever been in the South, myself— unless you count Dixie County, Utah. But what I notice as I reflect on this profile: Not one bit Yankee!}
