silliness

[Arnold M. Zwicky]

the blogthings site has a silly american dialect test --

http://www.blogthings.com/amenglishdialecttest/

-- to go along with Who's Your Inner European? and How Normal Are You?
and What Gender Is Your Brain? and similar quizzes.

you get percentages for General American English, Yankee, Dixie, Upper
Midwestern, and Midwestern.  i'm 35-35-20-10-0.

who makes these things up?
