But 36% Yankee is 64% Southern, and where did part of the Southern dialect come from? (Hint: it's in the British Isles.
)

I've often heard that today's southern accent is closest to what a British accent sounded like at the time of the American Revolution.
I idea if it's true or not, but I like the idea of Clockwork being 64% southern!
