American dialect finder
If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

The American and Northern Irish / Ulster Scots accent have similar roots. The test says my accent/dialect has most in common with:
N'orlins / Louisiana
or
South Florida:
Pembroke Pines, Florida
Miami, Florida
The humidity would kill me.
Long island, Upstate NY and Vermont also turned reddish.
Maybe I can winter in Florida.
I expected more Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee ... that area was white / pinkish.

I got PA, MN, NH. Good to know if I move stateside and want to blend in.
Apparently there are no highways in the west and yard sales only happen along the east coast.

not surprising that northern cities were chosen for me - Minnesota, Seattle, & Portland, tho Buffalo which is only an hour away was close based on the heat map - as was Utah (?).
I found it interesting that when I responded with running shoes (for gym), the entire map was dark blue.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

I had fun with the Mary marry merry question...I say marry and merry the same, Mary different.
It put me in Providence, Philly, and Yonkers. Grew up 80 minutes from Philly, never been to the other two. But where I am from is deep red. interestingly, the next darkest area aside from the northeast is around Chicago where I lived for eleven years.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?
