I hope these results are good...I really would like to be able to speak more proper English but I'm too stuck in my American ways, I guess ._.;

60% General American English
30% Yankee
10% Dixie

that last ten percent is depressing for the wielder of the mighty grammer hammer .________.;

I'm not so sure where the Dixie and Upper Midwestern things come in, but I guess the Yankee part makes sense considering I do live in New England. XD

how do you get 3 sylables from ca-ra-mel?
You just broke it down into three syllables right there...ca/ra/mel o_o;

That's actually the way I pronounce it. Not the way I was brought up to pronounce it, though (everyone around her says carmel, not caramel)

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that XD And WTF is Dixie? 0.o
Dixie, or Dixieland, is the southeastern area of the United States...the rebel states XP

A region of the southern and eastern United States, usually comprising the states that joined the Confederacy during the Civil War. The term was popularized in the minstrel song Dixie's Land, written by Daniel D. Emmett (1815-1904) in 1859.
That's the definition of Dixie. xD;

oO only 5% midwestern? That's where I've grown up most of my life! XD
But I guess I'm pretty general.

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan
