I have lived in Columbus, OH area since birth, almost 67 years ago. This thing put my dialect most similar to Lexington, KY; Chattanooga, TN; and Montgomery, AL.
I know I'm a redneck at heart, but really??

Said Yonkers for me but on the color coded graph NY was orange and CT was bright red.
Accurate assessment.

Wayyy the heck off, says richmon, new port , Norfolk, va. I've never been there or even near there.

Raised in Illinois middle of the state on the river, stationed in new mexico, ark, and florida (and Okinawa)
Well, some military training in California, Colorado, and a few overeas bases I've sworn not to talk about for another 60 years.

Guess they ain't profiling me anytime soon :)
And if they do...its going to be soooooo wrong! ;D

Fun survey but it didn't get me right. It said I live everywhere but Oklahoma. I've lived here my whole life. Except for the time I spent living with the Muslims.

Lived 5 years in Falls Church, VA, but the test placed me in Yonkers...

Maybe 3 years in the UK mixed up a few idiomatic expressions... ;)

So... I did it again; New York City or Boston... ::)

So... I did it again; Yonkers again ! :D

So... there's no place like home... wherever that may be ! ;D

Born and raised in Missouri and it said Little Rock, Shreveport, and Jackson. I've always been told that I have a generic southern drawl due to being in the Army. :)
