What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

But then again I already knew that.

I found this link over on Jeremy Wright’s Ensight. It gives you a series of questions and determines what type of American English you speak. If they had one or two more questions like “Do you use the work ain’t on a regular basis?”, I would probably be labeled as 100% Dixie.

Hey, born and bread in Mississippi, now living in Alabama…what do you expect?

What kind of English do you speak?

I actually speak Texan, but that wasn’t an option.
