This is hilarious! I was a bit skeptical, but out of the 3 results:
- one is in the county where I lived for the longest stretch of time
- one is where I began university before the Army
- one is where I live Right Now!
Curious to know who else answered with "peenie wallie."

That was spot on for me; it said Philly (where I was born) but the darkest red part of the map was northern Delaware, where I've lived my whole life.

I'm not from America, but it gave me Glendale, San Jose, and LA. It's geographically accurate for me .

Re: Take this NYTimes dialect quize
I've lived in different parts of the country and been around a lot of people from around the world. Over the years, I've picked up their expressions. It gave me the right region, that's all.

Re: Take this NYTimes dialect quize
I got New York City, Jersey City and Yonkers. I'm from Queens, NY but been living in The Atlanta area for over 20 years. You can take me out of the city BUT...
Livin.

Meh.
I'm from the Midwest but I now live in the South. The quiz gave me East coast - Baltimore, New York.
