Your Linguistic Profile:

75% General American English

5% Upper Midwestern

5% Yankee

0% Midwestern

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.

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:
