It just asked me if I call the department store "Belk" or "Belks."

I answered Belks, obviously.

Sorry, but the server is too busy to fulfill this request right now. Please try again later.


They need to work on better hosting. :squint:

Dude, it is NC STATE, what do you expect? I am surprised that urine didn't come out of my computer screen when I clicked the link.

Just took this dialect quiz:

http://spark.rstudio.com/jkatz/DialectQuiz/

It thinks I am from somewhere random in the deep south. It did help me realize, however, that over the years I have been consciously changing my pronunciation of words, thus neutralizing my accent and dialect somewhat. Interesting stuff coming out of NC STATE.

It got me pretty much correct - with Raleigh and Winston both being in the list of places that I lined up with. I did have to answer some things as if it were asking how I used certain terms when I was growing up... because I certainly see it changing.

 

[HeavyPetter]

College boy.

If by college boy, you mean a literate individual who is able to property read a sign on the side of a building, then yes; I am a college boy.

Yankee.

The survey indicated that my dialect is similar to that of someone from Jackson, MS, btw.

 

[ChicdeaC]

I got closest to Durham, Raleigh and Gainesville (where my mom grew up) but there's red pretty much up and down the East coast...least like MI and Toledo

No, I mean like someone who supports Jeff Gordon. A College Boy.

See, I probably should have done that -- instead, I went with my current dialectical patterns. Maybe I'll try it again.

1	Huntsville AL	55.4
2	Little Rock AR	54.9
3	Montgomery AL	53.8
4	Memphis TN	53.8
5	Mobile AL	53.5

Not a very strong correlation, but weird.

Not bad. I did answer one wrong, misread the word and didn't see the extra letter.

The link refuses to work for me. Either get a server overload error, or when I hit "begin" the next screen doesn't work.
