Dialect test
My roommate had a link to this site on her page, the short test tells you what kind of American English you speak...I am proud to say that my General American English ranked the highest. I have been told that the way I talk does not exactly indicate being raised in Texas and this shows that I could pretty much fit in (speech-wise) all over the U.S.

Dixie
I wish I was in the land of cotton,
old times there are not forgotten,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.
In Dixie land where I was born in, early on a frosty mornin',
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land.
Chorus:
Then I wish I was in Dixie, hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie land I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
That tune is a must have on every IPod, I must say!
