I kinda knew this already ...
Taking the US Dialect test, I'm 36% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee.Looking at the questions, I realize how much my dialect has changed over my life. My vocabulary and pronunciation has become less "midwestern" and folksy for some reason. While I used to pronounce caramel as "car-mel", I now say "care-a-mel". I used to call a crawfish a "cray-fish", but now I say "craw-fish".
There are many others. Take the test, it's fun.
