Random Thoughts From My Desk on a Cold, Foggy Morn – December 31st 2007

Here goes with some “random thoughts” on a cold, foggy night/early morning on the Peninsula …

• First, I would like share a fun website where you take a “test” and see if you have been raised speaking “Dixie” (south of the Mason-Dixon Line & Texas) or “Yankee” (New England, northern/Great Lake states), et cetera. It was sent in by Diane S., Wisconsin, Friend of LPJ.
  Sharon (Kritter Girl at Kritter Korner) took the test and scored 51%. I took it and scored 60%, which means I lean a bit on the Dixie side – which may be the fact that kinfolk on my mother’s side are from south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
  Try this fun test of American-style English (maybe we should have stuck to the Queen’s English, even though we did win independence) and see how you score. Click here.
