82% Dixie- born and bred in the deep south. Altho being from New Orleans I have been accused of being from Brooklyn at times and the North at other times.

56% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.
Lots of Pennsylvania terms there!

87% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?
Yay-is, I do and I was born in the heart of Dixie on the gulf coast.
Terri/Sunny, don't fret, using southern terms will only make you warmer sounding in your speech. Take it as compliment. I love the differences in dialect through out the country. I do find many northern dialects that lack warmth and soul. Some of them, such as those from New York city have character though.

45% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category. I was surprized they didn't have the option of picking 'you guys' when one addresses a group of people...I always use this from growing up in the midwest.
