Yankee or Dixie?

Here is a test that shows the many different dialects within the United States. It is very interesting because it gives reasons (and locations) why Americans say a word so many different ways. It is based upon a Harvard study of over 30,000 respondents. It is interesting to me that the way that I pronounce many words is because of my Midwestern upbringing. That was over thirty years ago.
