Got me pretty good, but then again I've lived all over the place. Terms and pronunciations have changed over the years. For example, as a kid we went to garage sales but now I use yard sales. When writing I will use the plural you but in person I will use the term you all or you guys depending on the circumstances. I grew up with lightning bugs, but now I know them as fireflies.

That was fun.  Thanks for the share Jason ON. 

Regardless of where I've lived, I still  have a strong Michigan dialect.

It placed me in Lincoln, NE. I've been in CA all my life, but I'm the first one to admit I have odd speech patterns. I've picked up phrases from others my whole life and incorporated them into my vocabulary, just to be well rounded. Yeah. I'm so well rounded I sound like I"m from Nebraska.

Perhaps it placed me there because that's the center of the country and when it averaged my answers and couldn't put me in a region, it slapped me in the middle!

And I've done a little corn holing in my time. . . . It's a bar game in CA.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.
