My Linguistic Profile
I don't know if it's important for a pastor to know his linguistic profile or not. In any case, the results don't really surprise me:
Your Linguistic Profile: |
45% General American English |
40% Yankee |
10% Upper Midwestern |
5% Dixie |
0% Midwestern |
I have spent my entire life in New England, primarily in Maine. My family has lived in Maine for several generations. However, having spent 4 years in Boston for a college education has changed my language some, and I have been conscious to avoid idiomatic speak, particularly since I began preaching and volunteering for the radio station. I am particularly perplexed at the "5% Dixie" that shows up. I'm not even sure what question I answered which caused that result.
Grace and Peace,
PastorJon
