Up to par and Katy bar the kitchen door

Did you know I'm more of a Southerner than Maud Newton? Me neither. How could this be? I've only lived a small part of my life there, and Maud *embodies* the South. I mean, my fondest memory of her is meeting her for brunch one spring morning. Fanning herself demurely as I approached (10 minutes late), she set down her sweet tea, peeked out from under the brim of her dramatic church lady hat and said, "Sweetie, I love that outfit more and more *every* time I see it."

Anyhow, so I took the Yankee or Dixie quiz, which bears a resemblance to the Harvard Dialect Survey, and it turns out that I am "46% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category." Well I'll be damned. Just wait 'till the ladies at the DOC meeting hear this!
