"Upper Midwestern?"
Apr. 19 - This is cool, but weird. I've lived in the West, the Mid-west and the South, but never in the "upper midwest" which I'd hazard is Illinois, Michigan, etc.

I was 70% general, pretty even on the rest. I want to see what a born-and-raised Canadian gets.

Good morning, Jay! I think you need to construct a Canadian style of that particular quiz. Someone from the Maritimes might share some word forms with "Yankee" (if by that they mean someone from New England) but the missing piece is how one pronounces "roof" which is how I always get outed by the discerning types!

I meant I was curious how it would (incorrectly) turn out.

It's about forum types but applies to blog comment-posters too.

Thanks, Jay. That gave me several minutes of laughter!
I think I know some of them ... very astute observation that Godzillas create Xenophobes. That particular interrelation led to the demise of some fine newsgroups.
