English is my second laguage, so the quiz doesn't really apply to me. I don't celebrate halloween, and I've never heard of the toilet paper thing. I don't really have an accent really. It's not British and it's not American, according to Americans I've talked to. It's just undefinable with a little touch of Norwegian to it.

Since I'm from Florida the results are what I expected.
My question is what type of math is this? Many of these only add up to 95%. Is that new math?

I don't even know what Dixie is, except Dixi toilets.

It refers to States south of the Mason-Dixon Line

The area was called Dixie

I find this quiz to be more accurate:

Damn. Can't post my results. It said that I have a Southern accent, followed by
The Midland
Philadelphia
The Northeast
The Inland North
The West
Boston
North Central

What American accent do you have?Your Result: The Midland


"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

The West
