I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my uncle Sam's
Born on the Fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London
Just to ride the ponies
I am a Yankee Doodle boy
I saw this linguistic profile on Adam & Aubrey's blog, and as a linguistic-type major I was especially interested by it. It was fun, and not difficult to take. Y'all should try it...
Anyway, here were my (Becca's) results:
| Your Linguistic Profile: |
 15% Upper Midwestern 15% Yankee 5% Dixie 0% Midwestern |
Maybe when Derek gets home, I'll have him give it a try. Otherwise, you're once again stuck with just me...

I've gotta tell you, the "yankee doodle do or die" is my favorite part... doodledoodledoodledooo-ooo
You're so blasted funny. I love your yankeeness. And I love that I just used that word. For free blog backgrounds, go to cutestblogontheblock.blogspot.com or if you want there is a link to it on my page (i named it blog facelifts) there are instructions and everything on the site, it's kinda confusing, if you get stuck, let me know. I'm incredible with the computer (NOT) and hopefully we could stumble blindly together!
60% General American English
20% Upper Midwestern
10% Yankee
5% Dixie
0% Midwestern
I'm a little less Yankee and a little more Midwestern than you.
Derek took it, too. And he got:
70% General American English
30% Upper Midwestern
0% Everything else. :)
Wow- our results were very similar-
65% General American English
15% Upper Midwestern
10% Yankee
5% Dixie
Hey, just to let you know- I tagged you-you poor sucker. The instructions are on my blog. Now you have something to blog about! HA Ha!
