   I’ve taken this quiz before; last time, I got Arlington, VA as one possibility. This time around, I got DC as a possibility. In both cases, the quiz had me pegged within about 20 miles, since I’m from Alexandria.

   It nailed me down pretty tightly, too.

   Got me at NYC (10 years) and Yonkers (I lived in Westchester County for 14 years). But the third one was weird: Jackson, Mississippi. I’ve never even been in Mississippi. Go figure.

   Well, well, well, I also got Washington DC, Jackson (Missouri?)and somewhere else that I have instantly forgotten. Such is my incredible memory.

   Henry, I don’t think you’ll bump in to me, so don’t worry. I was brought up in the UK and now live in Sydney, Australia.

   I don’t think that this quiz was intended for non-Americans. Too many answers required the response “other”.

   They got me correctly in Philadelphia. The give away, though, was the word “hoagie”. I think only Philadelphians say that.

   Pinpointed my birthplace. Pinpointed a city my 1820s maternal grandparents appeared in a census record. Pretty close – within a two-hour drive – of the city my 1840s paternal grandparents appeared on a census.

   First question admittedly I clicked a word form I never used myself – but my kin did – my parents moved me while an infant to a USMC base in CA.

   Arkansas, Kentucky, Maryland.

   TBH?

   I took a look at some letters/writings my families’ left for posterity. Used what I took to be the “most probable” of the word-forms for the test. “Hypothesized” ports of entry.

   Virginia, Georgia, and unexpectedly (only city I’ll name) Jackson Mississippi.

   There’s [maybe] a reason I’ve reckoned you a “axtracted hillbilly tended ter de desert flatmost” sort of feller.

   The quiz unerringly identified my ancestral homeland of central New Jersey. Ditto for my brother Dave.

    It put me in Wisconsin or Minnesota, primarily based on one word choice, Kitty-corner. A lot of my choices were all blue, so they didn’t have a lot to work with. The red options were all over the country.

    It had me as either Utah (correctly, based on ‘potato bug’) or upstate New York (incorrectly, based on ‘sneakers’).

    I got Washington DC, Arlington, VA, and Durham, NC – moved around a lot, but never lived in any of these places and have no relatives from these locations either. Of course, I did drop my native PA “yous guys” and adopted y’all after years of living in the South.

    LB,

    You can’t actually be mistaken for a Southern Belle, unless you know the plural for “y’all”.

    My wife and I live in Durham, NC for several years (while Trish was doing graduate work at Duke). We quickly learned that the plural of “y’all” was “all y’all”!

    Dear Henry,
    A decade or so ago, I uttered a phrase that convinced my family that I am a Southern redneck and fit in perfectly in The Deep South. I told my husband, “I already done did it!” I do say, “all y’all” too. I’ve lived in The South many years, lol

    Apparently I am either from San Francisco, San Jose, or Honolulu, though we cannot rule out southern Florida.

    The problem is they failed to ask about “toque” or the CORRECT pronunciation of “about.”
