There's a quiz that computes wether you are Yankee or Dixie based on language. I came up with this result:

37% (Yankee). You have a good Yankee score.

What I found very interesting was that it gives regional results for each question. Most of my responses were labeled as being common in Michigan and the western Great Lakes. My mom is from Wisconsin. So even though I grew up in California, my speech patterns are influenced by the Midwest (and southern England, of course.)

And isn't that interesting: a quick Google of "Mat Night" shows quite clearly that it's peculiar to Montreal. I wonder where that came from, possibly some influence from French? I can't find anything about its etymology.
