Check me out...70% dixie, which in reality means the south is just more Engish influenced probably.

56% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.
 
 I'm all screwy, cuz I was born in Jersey and my family's all from Jersey and New York, but I grew up ages 7 - 18 on the west coast of Florida, which is more midwest than the South, but with just enough 'southeast' in it.
 
 I love, though, that my adamantly Jersey dad is so adamant that you pronounce route like toot, but that's the "Centered on Chicago and the Great Lakes region south to Tennessee", whereas route like clout is "Most common to the Northeast United States."  He's going to be quite perplexed and disappointed!

Yeah, but weakness in higher mathematics, that's a Dixie thing.  Bonus points to Poorlulu.
 
 I only managed a 61% Dixie rating, but given the handicap of being from Boston....

 And for me it's always been "soda," *never* pop!

46% -- Yankee.
 
 But each time I hit the "compute my score" button (without changing any answers) I got a new score.

 However, I would like to point out that this quiz is very East Coast Biased.

You're right about that! I tried it too and and on the 4th click, I got:
 
 100% (Dixie).  Is General Lee your father?
 
 Beat that, y'all.   :p
