Actually, I guess they just alphabatized them. Still, since I was born and raised here you'd think I'd speak more Yankee, wouldn't you? ^_^

Well, I got 10% dixie and I'm living here, so I'll accept that, but I definitely haven't picked up many of the sayings. I think the only reason I got that much is because I am known to frequently say "y'all". There were so few questions it's not a terribly accurate test. :)
