And you're a little more Yankee. Kinda like the old Donny & Marie song, "I'm a little bit country, and he's a little bit rock and roll."

Speaking of which, coming from a Mormon Western family, I can't help noticing there was no category for Western. Do they not have a distinct way of speaking out there? Well, I know they do, but maybe it's the same as Upper Midwestern. I did notice the question about soda vs. pop. My mother said pop. But I don't. I did apparently answer one question Upper Midwestern-style; don't know what it was. My mother also said crick for creek. That's just wrong.
