What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

I've always enjoyed these kind of linquistic-style discussions. We are still a large country with a lot of language diversity. I still go back to Wisconsin, for example to buy soda, since all we can get here in Minnesota is pop. Up here there are lots of drinking or water fountains, but next door in Wisconsin we had more bubblers to drink from. And, the always fun: Mary, marry, or merry?

Surprisingly on my test it picked up my "Yankee" roots from Pennsylvania and I had little mid-western connections (10%) but I want to know where the Dixie stuff came from. I've never lived there.
