this meme's for you'uns

What kind of American English do you speak? My results: 65% general American English, 20% Yankee, 15% Dixie (wtf?), 0% Midwestern, 0% Upper Midwestern. I wish the followup page to the quiz described a bit of the methodology. I have no idea how I scored 15% Dixie. And I’m surprised the “you” plural pronoun “you’uns” (which I used growing up until I realized in college how HICK it was) is not included here.

    10% Yankee
    5% Midwestern

    I do think the dixie factor is a bit flawed. I have lived in Nashville, Lexington and throughout rural Kentucky. How you scored higher on dixie than I did, I will never know. See ya’ll later.
