Found on another group:
Them gize sheer dun guud. Pegg'd me at western NYS rot ahn.
According to test, I talk like Tony Soprano.
Got me about right. Heaviest red around Yonkers NY), New York City, Patterson (NJ), Newark (NJ).
Impressive, but I'm easy. I used to drink tonic while wearing my sneakers.

The results were certainly close enough to have targeted me with a nuclear bomb.
It had me in Shreveport, Mobile or Birmingham, unless I lived in Southern Maryland (the right answer)
Hmm, Stockton - Modesto, CA and Denver, CO. Been to all three, never lived near. But, I have stayed at some Holiday Inn's...
It put me in a place -- a state, even -- where I have never set foot, a place where I once spent three days, and a place I've visited only for a day at a time, maybe half a dozen times.
For some questions, none of the possible answers fitted my language usage.

It put me between one town 15 miles away and another about 70 miles away. That's pretty close in my opinion.
It's got me all over, from DesMoines, to Salt Lake City, to Fresno. I was born in the Midwest but spent almost all of the latter 2/3s of my life in the Northeast.
The second time through it put me in Indiana. The first time put me in Nebraska where I belong.
My father came from Washington State...my mother from Minnesota. I was born in Alberta, Canada. I was pegged as from the northern USA, from Des Moines to Seattle. I would say the quiz was well put together.

I disagree. It put my "most likely" cities in Kansas and Oklahoma, in which I have spent a grand total of maybe 36 hours, mostly driving through on the way to somewhere else. I have lived my entire life in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana, in that order (mostly Indiana).
Gut a proplem wit dat?
Funny, it had me in the same place because I called a sub-sandwich a poorboy. I use the words interchangeably and only use it because that's what all the fast food joint call them. It did have me in The Southeast and up through the Northeast. I'm a native of Alabamastan but my mother was from Brooklyn, New York. As a kid I didn't sound like a native so I was given a hard time by the other kids. I've never used the word "y'all" unless I'm playing Hillbilly and need to ham it up. I'm more likely to use correct English and grammar. ^_^
