Dead spot on. Thanks JB, enjoyed the little quiz so they could figure it out. Very neat!

Had me all over the map except in the Southeast which would be correct as I never lived there. In Wisconsin we called the drinking fountain a "bubbler". Then in New York it was drinking fountain. In Wisconsin a soft drink was called "pop" and in New York it was soda. I've lived in Calif. longer than anywhere so I guess that's why I was spread out so far. It's a good indicator though, I can tell.

Raised in Philly with "You Guys" for the first 29 years and for the past 39 years I've lived in Texas with "Y'all" . Interesting mix?!
