My score on the "Are You a Yankee or a Rebel?" linguistic test: 65% Dixie - just under the Mason-Dixon line. That sounds about right, given my Ahia heritage and Southern upbringing.
to be fair, we called them water fountains here. and they never asked about 'bathrooms.' and a lot of my language is picked up from african-americans, deeply rooted in mississippi, with the speech intact.
Sweet! Tea, that is. : ) I come out on top with 66% dixie! CB, big surprise there...NOVA is too southern for you; enjoy freezing and carousing with folks that say "a-boot".

I guess years of "The Dukes of Hazzard" and Deliverance had an effect on y'all.
KPMD - You just made me laugh. 'Wooder', indeed.
Well, at least you live in Detroit.
