Me: http://nyti.ms/Kjlkgd I have lived in NY state my whole life. It gave me California cities but NY is red so not too far off.

My significant lifemate: http://nyti.ms/JsyabE lived here since age 1.

Also we don't have drive through liquor stores here. I was as surprised as you EU guys. Each state has its own alcohol laws.

Heh I had an argument with a friend about one of those questions like two days ago, the difference between "frosting" and "icing" (we're from different states).

It did get my city right, cool quiz.

This test is pretty stupid for people that don't have a mother language level in english. I absolutely had to answer "baguette" at some point.

I lost the image but I roughly had Wisconsin and New York blue.

Lemon Luther King JR, has a dream, where all trolls are treated with fairness and equality. Lemon's want to be able to vote, and ride in the front of the bus, and drink from the same fountain that we do. Please right this inequality

kansas city,  overland park,  orlando. 

went to an american elementary school in germany,  so I got a mix of all dialects when I learnt it. 
never liked anything british sounding as a kid though,  so I ignored any words sounding like that ^^

It's really interesting to see what kind of English 'accent' ESL people have based on this US-centric test.

A lot of people in the NA community know that Dach rages and in the process of his uncontrollable rage, he tends to kick people.

You've been warned! :twisted:

It was odd to me when I went out west, they also sold liquor and beer in pharmacies.

My state also had some blue laws up until recently where we couldn't buy booze on Sundays or after 8pm, although we still can't buy it after 4pm. I found out yesterday I guess you still can't buy it on certain holidays.
