Oh, Was this a quiz to pigeon hole a speaking style? Tsk...
I really don't believe in these types of universal instantiations.
Y'all go on and have your fun...

I really thought I would have more "Dixie" and am surprised some "Midwestern" never rubbed off from living in Illinois for twentysix years. (slow learner I suppose)

What does "Midwestern" sound like?

sort of like a lower upper midwestern

That explains a lot . Just wait until you come over here, it's even more confusing . Norfolk compared to west country, Mancunian compared to southern scouse, it goes on, but I will confess, I always thought there was just a southern or northern American accent, with a few variations.

Been there (well not Ankh-Morpork, been a while since me and Terry hung out in discworld) and will be back, but no problem after 5 pints we all sound the same

Don't even have to take the test.

I speak fluent slang with semi proper english as a second language.
