I love when I waste time at work waiting to read every frame of people's flashing icons. This Oregon Trail one was awesome. Thank you.

Ok, explain this to me - how can we grow up in the same town, and speak differently? Also, why am I only 95% American?

How did your answer wind up exactly the same as mine? Now I'M confused!

I was born in CA, lived in FL for 5 years, KS for 2, and then moved to South Jersey. Mostly I'm surprised there's not more Midwestern in me. However, I tend to talk in the manner of the people around me, so a lot of the answers boiled down to "which do I use the most?"

They aren't exactly the same as yours - apparently I am more redneck than you are. I blame Pittsgrove Township. And the fact that my dad's family is from Tenn.
