Poll question: Where ya from? |
|
Forgive me for not putting it in the proper, "I'm curious, DUers,..." format, but I'm in a hurry.:)
There's a lot of overlap in these regions, and since we have a lot of non-Murricans on here, I couldn't restrict it to just the US and had to combine a lot of regions (and a lot of countries). Sorry; I think it looks foolish, too.

13. That would be because I'm an idiot |
|
On the other hand, Tierra del Fuego is lumped with Tijuana and Australia with Afghanistan and Antarctica, so you're hardly alone.

19. Didn't forget; divided it into New England and mid-Atlantic |
|
New York, last I checked, fell under the latter, though with a name like New York it ought to be in New England, oughtn't it?:)

21. New York is considered to be in the mid-Atlantic? I never knew |
|
that! I've always classified it as northeast, cause we've never been from New England, not that there's anything wrong with that. ;-)

Michigan is not really part of the midwest although people always say it is. Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota are Great Lakes states. Upper Great Lakes at that.
