I changed a couple of answers on the dialect quiz that I wasn't sure about the first time. The map was mostly the same. The NE was a bit more yellow as opposed to blue. The N and NW were more yellow-blue as opposed to yellow-orange. My hotspot was mostly the same, being centered around the middle of the eastern seaboard and a bit on Kentucky and Tennessee. It labeled my 3 cities in Virginia, which is a bit closer than before, which was North Carolina.

No, Iiiii'm pretty sure it's y'all, since ya'll would be, I dunno, a contraction for you will?

[Putnam]

Fucking NYT doesn't even know their etymology. It's ya'll, not y'all.

no?

[Flying Dice]

It's been a while since I dug into this, but to my knowledge the dialect that originated that contraction contracted "you" to "ya". "Ya all", in the same sense as "youse guys". Modern logic dictates that it's a contraction of "you all" (which it is) because that "ya" doesn't really persist anywhere but in verbal accents. Eh, it doesn't matter overmuch, though, because I'm not dead set. But I'm inclined to trust a linguistic specialist who investigated the history of it more than "common sense" (when the same sort of thinking does things like trying to kill the Oxford comma) or some random blog. :|

[Putnam]

The dialect contracted "you" to "ya", but common usage doesn't anymore. Common usage is language.

[Powder Miner]

I dunno man, the entire internet seems to think it's y'all, including university sites and Wikipedia, not just "some random blog".
(and when I say the entire internet, I mean the first page of google results :p)

Dunno how old the test results shtick is, but i got this:
ENFP

Extrovert(1%)  iNtuitive(62%)  Feeling(25%)  Perceiving(6)%


Apparently the "Champion", though I could go either way as an INFP / "Healer" too.

And yeah, these Myers-Briggs things are pretty simplistic - i don't doubt if I'm in a depressive funk then my answers would probably be INTJ or INTP.

Spoiler: INTJ (click to show/hide)

Introvert(67%)  iNtuitive(38%)  Thinking(38%)  Judging(78%)

    You have distinctive preference of Introversion over Extraversion (67%)
    You have moderate preference of Intuition over Sensing (38%)
    You have moderate preference of Thinking over Feeling (38%)
    You have strong preference of Judging over Perceiving (78%)
Seems mostly right, though the test may have been skewed a bit due to my inability to answer a few questions properly. My J is probably a bit higher than it should be, in particular.

I'd say that's accurate, considering I live in that area

The Social attitude test (Shouldn't these tests be put on the first post? Took some time to dig up.)

Progressivism   65
Socialism   37.5
Tenderness   43.75

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a jaded materialist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a considerate radical centrist with few strong convictions.

This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.

I guess it's quite ok, though I don't think I have a problem with religion, and I have no clue how to interpret that I'm a considerate radical centrist with few strong convictions.
Sounds like a bunch of conflicting stuff.

Probably, but I can't be bothered.

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a considerate realistic egalitarian with many strong convictions.

Apparantly I'd make a good journalist.

Right o' chaps, the question for all time: How northern are you?

The results are in! We reckon you're
10% northern
That's somewhere around Bournemouth.

[Skyrunner]

0% northern.

[alexandertnt]

35% northern.
That's somewhere around Oxford.

I have no idea what it means to be "northern" in Britain. Nor do I know what an oatcake is.
