well, not really… but that’s what the dialect test thinks. my yankee co-worker scored 8%.
i got a score of “95% dixie” (and proud of it!). she laughed at me, but secretly i was the one laughing at her!

i’m always self-conscious of my accent when i speak in front of people up here. sometimes visitors at my church look like deer caught in headlights – seriously, i can’t imagine what they think of this southern worship chick.

to make things worse, wednesday i read a section of scripture during our seminary chapel service…

guess what the first word was?

LIKEWISE!

my pronunciation: lahk-whahz

i told our worship leader that was the WORST word he could’ve picked for me to start with!

after reading scripture to the whole international seminary chapel, i think my fellow seminarians would believe me if i told them General Lee was my grandfather!

anyway, my whole point is for you take the stupid test, because we COULD be long-lost cousins or something!
