I don’t generally go in for bloggy quiz things, but I saw a link to this “What Sort of English Do You Speak?” quiz on
Jeff’s Blog and had to try it. Actually managed to do a pretty decent job of pinning me down (early childhood in western Mass, followed by an adolescence in Michigan – which is, apparently, considered Upper Midwest?). Sadly it didn’t have “Tonic” as an option for what you call a fizzy soft drink (not that I use it, but I wish I did).
