So, how do you guys talk??

This is a little test thing you can take to see how you talk. Where from. Mine is spot on!!! Lets see if we all match where we live. :)http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html?r=8244400s080011000j10200000j001008j01028008020b0200

  • Semi or semi truck, roundabout, kitty corner, soda. Never knew there was a word for landscaping between the two sides of the road or between the sidewalk. Also didn't know there was a word for rain when it's sunny. Lol

    I pronounce aunt like ant, and been like bin.

    I'm a NorCal girl born and raised. :)

  • Tractor Trailer, Median (for the section between the roads), rotary for a circular intersection, soda, aunt =ant, been = bin, I use the word diagonal (not kitty corner or any of those other terms). That's all I can remember right now.

  • My answers were very similar to you
    @Sgautschi but I got a little further north with cities which makes sense since I am in WA. I didn't' realize kitty corner was a regional thing. I have never heard anybody use any other term.

    This test would be fun for my mom to take because she is from New England but has lived in WA for 20+years her New England accent still comes through often though :)

  • Catty corner, traffic circle, Ant, Bin, big rig, freeway... Lol and @sgautschi I never knew there was a word for sunny rain neither. Lol oh or what is the grass between the sidewalk and street??? There were a few I had NO CLUE.... Funny

  • Mine is pretty dang close.. My top spot is a city about 2 hours away, which is actually where my grandmother was from and where my mom lived for a little while so I'm sure that's why I talk like I'm from there :) Really though, it looks like Texas is bleeding profusely within a 2 hours radius of where I live so I'd say it's spot on.

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

    T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.

  • I'm Canadian but close to the NY border so getting upper NY was obvious. I also got Florida but we have lots of snowbird down there so that makes sense too. Sun shower, highway,, transport truck, roundabout, median - didn't know that side road had a name.

  • It worked for me.  One was Minneapolis/St. Paul and I grew up in the metro area of the Twin Cities :)  The other two were Des Moines and Omaha so completely Midwest haha.

  • It was pretty spot on for me. It had 2 Texas cities. Which is kind of amusing since everyone says I don't have a Texas accent and my parents aren't native Texans

  • I grew up in Western Canada, near the border of Montana/Idaho, but we watched the US News Stations from the Pacific Northwest. I currently live in Upstate NY, but I answered the questions with my default choices being how I grew up speaking. I got a wide range, but it kind of makes sense to me. My 3 cities were Anchorage, Alaska; Anaheim California, and Portland,Oregon
