Funny thing is, I live in the south. If anything, my English isn't all that American, to be brutally honest. A lot of the options they had wouldn't necessarily be the word I'd use.

But dude, there were, like, totally different options I would have, like, picked, if they were there, y'know? :mrgreen:

When it's raining and sunny out at the same time, that's when the hyena is giving birth. everyone knows that! :p
 
yeah, this test would probably work best for poeple that actually live in the US, and even then it's not diverse enough on the options.

Devil beating his wife? I have never heard that one before....
 
^I was just kidding with the hyena bit (I don't think many people in the US, if any, would think that), but I was a bit disappointed that Californian wasn't one of the categories. Just a question that asks how often you use the work "like" would have sufficed. Also, for the question about traffic circles I wanted to put in "those things you only see in Europe", but that's probably just me. :mrgreen:
