    What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

    I'm really curious how our british folks can master this, or if they simply feel insulted ;) (Hey folks, I seem to speak 5% non-american english, must be Denglisch... )

    British!

    Well I got:

    50% General American English
    30% Yankee
    20% Dixie
    0% Midwestern
    0% Upper Midwestern

    Though I have to say that I found no British variants in 4 (we don't do it), 5 (fizzy drinks, maybe?), 10 (what the hell are they?), 13 (it's a shopping trolley) and 14 (trainers). Pesky Yanks ;)
