I think this test focuses too much on a few specific vocabulary words - and very little on gramatical differences between the way people talk in the North and the South. As a result, someone who acquired zir basic speech from the North, but has learned many specific vocabulary words from the South would register as "dixie".

Of course -- it may be unrealistic to expect more from a multiple-choice Internet test -- but that only means that a multiple-choice Internet test can't really tell whether someone is from the North or the South.

Point well taken, Red. I am one such half-breed and registered 50% Dixie, but still found inadequacies already noted elsewhere. Then again, such a test being shipped around the e-ther* does serve as an entry door to this wonderful list for many of us if my experience is typical.

And a belated welcome a-board!

*NB in retrospect maybe that term should be e-ether? Wadi y'all think? I'm just making it up.

Exactly, Sluggo! It's how I found this site.
