I had all my 19 year old English composition students take it once when I didn’t feel like teaching and it was so much fun.

Thank you for this idea.

lol yes that quiz was like both affirming and depressing. My husband still can’t stop laughing about how I say “crayon” (like crown—I KNOW!!!) but because of this quiz, I can point to my place of origin (Pennsyltucky) rather than just being a straight up doofus
@knitnat
SPOT ON!!!
@windham
the only answer is y’all
@elizabethwalker
Agree. See also “all y’all” if it’s a big group.
@d_a_v_i_s
Y'all fills a necessary grammatical hole in the English language.
