I took it. My most common was Augusta-Richmond Dialect, which makes sense. My next most common was Jackson (MIssissippi) dialect. My 3rd was Louisville ***SPOILER***Don't read this next part before you take the quiz (since I used Yard Sale)

Birmingham, Winston-Salem and Greensboro for me.

Seems unnecessary to differentiate between Winston-Salem and Greensboro since they are right next to each other

The irony of this is that I've never been to Kansas or Missouri. Born in GA, educated in SC, and I live in TN.

I still don't understand the Wichita thing. I'm pissed.

It was dark red right on top of where I live so I assume that meant I live in the right place.

They did a good job covering most things around the country though.

Do you drink your iced tea unsweetened and have a passion for cowboy movies? My dad's from Topeka, just trying to solve the mystery...
