I'm not sure how much of this result is from my upbringing, and how much is from me trying to "correct" my dialect, but I did try to only answer based on how I would've answered as a kid. mydialect.us

The "What gave you away" section is a little strange because my hotspot was floating all around the mid-Atlantic until I got to the sneaker/tennis shoe question and then it was suddenly "OH YOU'RE FROM MARYLAND"

Yeah I love the hyper-specific giveaways! In our region, sneakers are a close second to "tennis shoes"

arizona is so neutrally west that these tend to struggle to get closer than, "you're from the southwest probably", and then i throw them off further by having retained the occasional texasism. i can use as many modals as i like! i might could use a double modal right now!
