    Funny. In the same order as you, but my scores were 70, 15, and 15. Makes sense being from the same town as you.

    I was 80, 15, 5 (same order).

    I want to know what the hell my “Dixie” word was? Seriously, my entire family is from the northeast coast, how the hell did I learn how to speak “Dixie”.

    From the other quizzes I found out I act like I’m 25 and am only occasionally normal!

    In addition to my English styles, I also learned that I am ONLY 40% normal (seems kind of high to me) AND that my inner European is French. I do like bread, wine, cheese and smoking, but I DO like to bathe frequently so I’m skeptical about the accuracy on that one……….:)

    Fun stuff.
