Mine is:
50% General
45% Dixie
5% Yankee (oh, the pain of it all!)
0% all those other yankee categories.

I was looking at the questions and wondering why there
weren't more selections in some of them. There were
several which "none of the above" would have been a
better choice, but I had to give an answer. One on
what you call a sweet, carbonated beverage did not
have the proper term. That would be a "Drank". Soda
and Pop are yankee terms.
