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

I have no idea how the Yankee got in there. Please don't tell my mother! 
She'll blame Daddy, even though he's a WV Mountaineer through and through and 
happily stays south of The Line. ("Daddy" is a true southernism, as I found 
out a couple years ago when I referred to my father as such during a 
conversation with a Canadian, who probably is still chuckling. I had severe 
problems with spelling throughout school; I think it's due to Mom's southern 
accent (Tidewater VA and up-east NC), which tends to make all vowels sound 
like "ah"....)   ~B
