Guest ExChinaExpat Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Here is an interesting quiz in which you answer several questions about how you pronounce and use words. After you complete the 25 questions, you will be presented a map indicating the approximate area of the US you live. Mine came out pretty close showing: Denver, Albuquerque, and Irving TX. That's pretty close as I lived several years in Denver during my youth. The Quiz Edited December 23, 2013 by GuangDongExpat (see edit history) Link to comment

Andelu Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I'll have to try the quiz when my VPN is working as the New York Times is blocked here in the PRC...one thing I will not miss when we move in a few months... Link to comment
Randy W Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Nowhere close for me - Springfield MO, Spokane, and Reno - although I did live in Missouri from age 7 to 10 when a lot of my vocabulary was being developed. From the dialect map, it looks like Houston would have been a fourth city. Link to comment
Ryan H Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Mine was right on the money - Seattle Other locations were Tacoma and Salt Lake City. Link to comment
warpedbored Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 I was born and raised in Idaho and have lived in western Oregon for the last 30 years. When I took this the other day It said I talk most like I am from Salt Lake City, Fresno or Long Beach. I took it again just now and some of the questions were different. Now it says Salt Lake City, Fresno and Seattle. Link to comment
NickF Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Interesting. It chooses Minneapolis/St. Paul, Madison, WI, and Rockford, IL as cities with the most similarity. I grew up in Indiana and Ohio, but have lived in Denver for the past 40 years. Link to comment
