What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

Ehhh. A couple of the questions I wanted other answers for. I use both "Sack" and "Bag" depending on whether it's paper or plastic, and I usually spell #16 with a 'y' and pronounce it 'peh-jä'meh', which is apparently British.

Then again, I've been accused more than once, in my home state no less, of bring European. I also have a chameleonic accent, as anyone who's seen me in Florida or Boston can attest.

But no Dixie. (sorry featherynscale) My family is from the panhandle, after all, not *real* Florida.

I'd send you a thank-you note for not having and Dixie, but then my southern would be showing. We all know how embarrassing that is for a Yankee.

As it happens, your lack of Dixie is one of the things that I find attractive about you.

I like being the token southerner.

I'm gonna need a Yankee icon soon...

Fair enough.

I'm not surprised in the least you have no Dixie. That's what you have me for. :P
