I'm 45% GAE
30% Yankee
15% UM
and 5% Dixie.
Which makes sense, as I've lived the first 27 years of my live in NY/NJ, then been in the Pacific NW, South Carolina, Virginia and now Ohio.

Seems pretty thoroughly blended to me. And yet strangely enough, most people I know think I talk like a damn weirdo.

The Yankee rating would have been higher if they'd allowed the "tonic" option for carbonated beverage...
