weird. a freeway to me is obviously the free highway.

That was my #1 complaint about living in Arizona, lack of greenery.

Toll roads are pretty rare here so I don't think anyone associates the two ideas. Like I said everyone calls them both highways here, but when I took a driving course they called the major ones with ramps instead of stoplights etc freeways.

Goddamn that was accurate. It pinned me from Richmond, VA... I grew up in Northern VA right near DC... ~100 miles from Richmond. But haven't been there in at least 8 years. Been all over the country and been living in Socal for the past 5 years or so.. guess I still have the Virginia dialect.
I answered one question wrong.. I wonder if it would be even closer if I didn't.. hmmm... retaking.

Retaking proved less accurate for me. It throws in different questions that make a big difference over the ones they replaced.

I've got the rich parts of the states I've spent the most time in.
So pretty close and it means that instead of white trash I belong in the better part of town.

I had three cities, New York, Boston and Providence and the entire South was dark red.
So I guess I kind of talk like a New Yorker from Southern parents

It's just people from Michigan talk like canadians . I grew up in Detroit area and spent the last 6 years in Chicago. The map told me I m from the rich suburbs in the area.
So yeah its pretty darn close neat quiz.
