Take it and let me know where it thinks you hail from.I got arlington/plano texas areahttp://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html?_r=0 4951
I took this over the weekend & it named the city I was raised in! I almost fell off my chair. It's not a big city in NJ. I was expecting it to say NYC, but not the exact city where I'm from. 4951
Lol- my 3 cities are Tulsa, OK City and Little Rock- never been to OK and have only visited Little Rock once. I think the quiz picked up my Texas roots with nods to having spent 30 years in Ohio!! Interesting 4951
It picked Jackson (MS), Baton Rouge, and New Orleans. Â I was born and raised just north of Baton Rouge and lived near New Orleans for 15 years. Â Pretty good! 4951
Austin, Irving, ArlingtonYet, I grew up in Grand Forks, ND until I was 18. Â Of course, I was in Harlingen until 11, so clearly that had an impact on my dialect. 4951
I'm a native Texan. Born in San Antonio and lived in Houston area most of my life ('cept for 11 mos in CA.) My three cities are Columbus, OH, Birmingham, AL and Lexington, KY. Go figure! 4951
