Linguistic profile
Okay, this is not a scientific test, but here are the results:
I have no idea how I could spend most of my life in the South and come out with these results or how my parents, who are both from Ohio, haven't influenced my speach more. I would venture a guess that 1) I rapidly adopted to the Ithacan dialect and/or 2) it has something to do with learning to talk in Massachusetts and spending a lot of my time reading. Whatever. It's sort of interesting just the same. And what group of people has a name for the day before Halloween?
