Inspired by possibly the most informative thread that I've ever read on SoLow, I'm curious as to how the various 'Mercan members here speak. Luckily, there's an online poll that will handle most of the dirty work:
Your Linguistic Profile:
65% General American English
20% Upper Midwestern
5% Midwestern
5% Yankee
0% Dixie
What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

I drink "pop," not "soda." I put groceries in a "bag," not a "sack." My parents' sisters are "onts," not "ants," etc.
For the record, I grew up within two miles of Kurt Warner, Zach Johnson, Elijah Wood, & Ashton Kutcher, just to give you a feel for what I sound like--especially Chris, I mean, Ashton.
EDIT: Disregard the Kurt Warner clip. It looks like his years in the NFL have given him a distinct Missourian/Southern Illinois twang.
