American Dialect Quiz
I had a policy against linking these quizzes, I know, but I've come across two in as many days that I liked.
This quiz will tell you what dialect of Americn English you speak, by asking you stuff like "Do you call it pop or soda?"
In a way, I guess it's pretty useless, since most of us have a good idea of which region of the country we come from, and therefore which regional dialects we speak in; but then, all of these quizzes are like that. People just like answering questions about themselves and then having a bit of computer-code parrot back to them what they've just told the quiz.
I know I do.
