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.

I've done so much traveling over the years that I'm kind of a linguistic mutt at this point.

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, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
