Saw this on a friend's facebook page and thought I'd share

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html?r=0j01284j0400222008002040004008050200112000020b000j&_r=0

The quiz says I speak like someone from the St. Louis/Kansas City "belt." I find this very strange, as I've never been to Kansas City, and only once went to St. Louis, and never left the airport.

So, who's willing to give it a try?

Couldn't answer the Mountain lion question, but based on the rest it would seem that Madison, Grand Rapids, Providence all have English Dorset accents so I hope they have, Pubs, Cider, Cheese, Cows, Sheep, Steam Traction Engines, In Flight Refueling, Sunseeker boats, Folk Dancing, Sunny Beaches, and Wimborne Market to go with it.
Hi, you're with 71 year old pre-op transgender Philippa (Pippa) born back in June 1946, I live on the south coast of UK in Wimborne Minster, Dorset.

I've been with The Laurels, NHS Transgender Clinic in Exeter UK,  for 2.5 years. I started my pre-op transgender journey after having breast implant surgery done by surgeon, Mr Michael Graham at The Winterbourne Hospital, in Dorchester UK, in July 2011.

It was after breast implant surgery, my female true real-self emerged, and I started to live full time as the woman. I was adamant GRS was not an opinion, after looking deep into my inner self, thoughts have changed, also testosterone blocking Pro-strap injection have a very positive impact, together with my oestrogen, sex drive has become better and more feminine. I am now so excited, and want to get on with my GRS. 

On the list with another of Britain's top surgeons, Mr Phil Thomas in Brighton for my Gender Reassignment Surgery.

I am engaged to Michael, a wonderful supportive guy.

Boise, Spokane, Salt Lake City.  Hey Pacific Northwest.  Close enough.

  
It does not take courage or bravery to change your gender.  It takes fear of living one more day in the wrong one.~me

One of my nieces had posted this on her facebook earlier, so I did it then. It says I'm from either Mobile, Tallahassee or Jacksonville, Florida.  Oddly enough, when I was three and four, we did live near Jacksonville, Florida, but I'm from Alaska, just happen to have grown up in mostly North Carolina and Georgia with time spent in Florida and South Carolina for good measure. And I've been in the coastal area of NC for the last 18 years, where they definitely talk funny.

I live right outside of DC, the thing is, I do talk like people from Baltimore, but people in most of North Carolina sound really southern to me. They also say Y'all all of the time, when it is TWO FREAKING WORDS You all, it just isn't a valid contractions [rant over] but, they do say soda just like me, so perhaps it is fair to have them in red if this is only diction, not like general speech.

I got Honnolulu, Seattle & San Jose...pretty close i guess i live in San Francisco lol.
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain, I like watchin' the puddles gather rain.

Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage

I refuse to live in fear! Come hell or high water I will not back down! I will live my life!
But you have no life.
Ha. Even that won't stop me.

I will protect even those I hate, so long as it is right.

I got Santa Rosa, Bakersfield and Fresno. Considering my part of Monterey County where i grew up is right in the middle of the triangle it is pretty accurate. Also I now live 30 minutes from Santa Rosa...
