oh ya!

Never again will I wonder or have to ask just how Minnesotan I sound. My biggest fear is that I come across like the 2 prostitutes in Fargo. Oh god a shiver runs down my spine. Then again, I hope to grow up some day to be just like the Frances McDormand character. So, really, I want to be Minnesotan ha ha, not Minnesotan obnoxious. Does that even make sense?

Regardless, I can now rest easy because I know exactly how Minnesotan I sound:



Your Linguistic Profile:



60% General American English



20% Upper Midwestern



10% Yankee



5% Midwestern



0% Dixie


I'd have to say 20% is a respectable amount. I'm quite pleased really. I may start toning it up while I'm nursing though - mainly because some of the nurses I work with who have the thickest accents crack me up to no end. I love it!

So. How Minnesotan are you? (And these are fightin' words, little lady.)
