12. Interesting: 75% Dixie though most of my picks were national speech |
|
patterns or "Chicago, or NE" patterns.... So, I don't quite get how it scores. However, as a "westerner-midwesterner" who did live several years in the deep south, it may well be accurate.

Even tho I'm from eastern MA I don't have a big Mass. accent. I can fake one pretty damn convincingly tho, and can even pronounce "Billerica" and "Leominster" properly :-)
