What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

April 16, 2005


Your Linguistic Profile:
65% General American English
25% Yankee
10% Dixie
0% Midwestern
0% Upper Midwestern

This question made no sense to me:

10. What do you call an easy class?

A crip course
A gut
A blow off

Never heard of any of those terms.
