So what's "General American English", exactly? Yankee, that's northeast. Dixie, that's the South. Midwest and Upper Midwest are self-explanatory, but what about the west-West? I hope this test isn't implying I speak like I'm from California or Washington or something cuz ya betta buhleeve dat ah'm from Noo Yawk. Fuhgeddaboutit! (wow, that was hard, lol) And wtg (what the gouda) is up with question ten? I've never called an easy course ANY of those things. I've never even heard of those terms until I saw this quiz. I always just called them "easy classes". Not to mention I switch off how I say "pajamas", and "either", too. LOL I so wanna study linguistics. *_*

Wikipedia has more on regional differences in American speech.
