Dialect Memeage

I took the "American dialect" quiz that's making the rounds; it gave me the Midland and Southern maps and descriptions. That sounds about right; I've said before - though perhaps not here - that I speak a Southern-tinged Midland dialect.

It gave me Midlands, too, which can't be right as I've never lived in that part of the country; I've barely even visited there.

But then I noticed the quiz lumped Washington & Oregon in with "the West" and I don't think much of anyone who claims to know dialects and can't tell a Washingtonian from a Montanan.
