As most of you know, I'm not only non-American, but also not a native English speaker. And have never been to the US in my life. But for the fun of it, I participated.

There are 5% missing :o
Uuups. Just noticed Celeste is missing 5%, too.
Maybe for 5% we don't speak at all. That must be the Ennis-side in all of us ;) :laugh:

Very bizarre results since I was born and raised in the American Southwest and have never been back east.

That was tough as I was born and spent much of my early life in the south. My speech has changed drastically even from my early teen years. I pronounce words and use much different terminology than I did when I was young and from what I grew up with. Oddly my sister, who is 18 months older and shares my southern beginnings, and my brother who is 8 years younger and was born and raised in southern CA, do are more similar in their speech and more similar to my parents.
I am so adrift in the world
