60% Proper English 40% Australian English
Uh...yeah, I didn't notice the link. I think I'll actually do the thing now.
Being an Aussie this doesn't really apply all that well to me, but here was my score.
55% General American English 30% Yankee 15% Dixie 0% Midwestern 0% Upper Midwestern
A few of those came down to just choosing the closest thing I'd say. For instance, I figured a 'blow off' is the closest thing to a 'bludge'. Also, down here it's not a shopping cart or any of that other shit, it's a trolley.
