What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

Makes sense. The 15% Dixie is easily explained by my military service, and the 5% Upper Midwestern comes from a Wisconsonian mother.

There was one a while back that was really well written and done (not a generic quizspot one but a semi-professional one) with the one bad thing that some of the code was messed up so the percentages were off and the creator didn't want to go back and fix it.

Tarnation, that icon is weird. I wonder if it's libration making it skew around like that, or if it's an artifact of the photographs....

It's the libration. The icon was created using Astronomy Picture of the Day (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html) and the entry for this picture explained the rolling motion.

Here's the original entry:
