I took the test twice. First time I got 64%, which surprised me, though I
know I have the affectation of saying "y'all." So I took the test again, and
changed that to "you all," and went from pajahmas to pajamas and from feeder
road to service road, and maybe made one other change. This gave me 50%.

--Q.M.

I got 45% ("Barely into the Yankee category."), which I suppose is typical
for someone who grew up in the Pacific West:
