Just a reminder that the dialect quiz is fun and interesting and generally pretty accurate but you should also only put it, like, a couple few steps above a "Which Spongebob Character Are You?" quiz

It's mostly for fun, you're not going to get a serious, rigorous linguistic analysis of how you speak based on 60 multiple choice questions

Which isn't to say it's bad or you shouldn't do it! It's actually pretty good for what it is and you should do it because it is fun and interesting to think about these sorts of things! Just keep in mind what it is vs what it isn't and can't be

TO MAKE IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR:

I think the quiz is fun. I think it's fun every couple years when it makes the rounds again. I love when people start talking and thinking about language and how they speak.

@coriander my hobby is getting mad at all the dialect quizzes who want to test people on positive anymore but don’t realize that it is typically placed at the beginning of the phrase
