How Y’all, Youse and You Guys Talk

[LDM]

An interesting quiz on dialect:

I guess I talk normal for where I'm from. Also, apparently we're the only ones that know what a rotary is.

I was close to my area.

[TooManyHobbies]

It has me dead on. Born in southern Missouri, grew up mostly in northern Iowa, lived a while in Indiana and Ohio.

[G8 GT V8]

Yep, it was pretty close for me.

[Troy TrackBeast]

Spot on for me lol. Very cool

Rotary? Don't you mean traffic circle haha

20846

[MongosG8]

I was spot on. Live in CT and it stated Springfield Mass, Providence RI & Boston Mass for me.

[STL_G8GT]

dead on... wow. I guess it shouldnt be surprising though.

[-Ray-]

I lost my Calif accent. Which of Californians don't actually have. I need to move to Cincy or Louisville. Since I seem to talk like those folks now.
Stupid round-abouts. LOL

[SpeedRacerX]

Wow it was right on to Philadelphia and NJ "cities." Not sure if I'm proud of that or not. Lol.

LOL @ CP.

Also it was close for me. Picked a few cities near where I lived.

Had me at Yonkers, Jersey City, and NYC. I lived about 40 mins from Yonkers and about an hour and 15 or so from NYC.

[Silver Bullet]

It was accurate for me. One of the cities listed (Little Rock) is where I live. And it's a roundabout guys....get it right.

[Zodiac]

Fucking Traffic Circle.

[kevinm0131]

Mine said cincinnati, Fort Wayne & Akron. I'll call that a win since I was born and raised in the Cincy area, but used to visit the Fort Wayne area every moth on business, don't know where the Akron came from though....

Do you randomly kill people and heavy user in drugs? If not don't know where it came from... lol. Akron... ugh lol.

[mc91]

It got me dead on with the city I live in and one an hour or so north. Then it randomly pegged me in Lincoln Nebraska lol.

Relatively close. Problem with me is I spent some time active duty in the Military, so it tends to color your speech patterns some. I'm from near the Connecticut shoreline, so it's not so bad. Said Yonkers, Newark and Springfield are close to the same speech patterns.

One thing I do NOT say is "wicked". For me growing up that's something that the Massholes up north said. :)

[00 Trans Ram]

It probably needed only 1 question to figure out where I was from:

"What do you call the grassy area between two streets?"

It's a neutral ground, of course. (Taken from Canal Street, when the area to the west of Canal St (btw, no actual canal was ever there, but it was proposed) was settled by the French, and the area east was settled by the Spanish. The "neutral ground" was an area where each was free to do business with each other, without technically crossing any boundaries. Also, Canal St. is the widest street in America.)

No city outside of New Orleans calls them that.

[Panzer Leader]

What?!!! Other dialects other than, "NAWLens"..... How uncivilized.....
