Let your words decide...
My score: 29% Dixie. You are a Yankee Doodle Dandy.
I'm actually not sure how I feel about this. I've been living in Arkansas long enough that being labeled a Yankee isn't high praise. However...I doubt I'll ever be considered Southern.
Of course this is just for fun and there is no indication on the site as to their methodology, ranking, and scoring system.

68% Dixie. Just under the Mason-Dixon Line.
However, since my parents are second generation (Mom's side) and third generation (Dad's side) immigrants from Germany and Poland, that's probably not too surprising. I'm still more Southern than you, Ken, but I will NEVER be KUNTRY, probably because I possess the ability to spell.
Snarky, I know.
Spelling isn't a problem. It's typing that's the issue; along with remembering to use spellcheck.
76% Dixie here. My roots are showing.
31% Dixie. You are definitely a Yankee.
Take pride in being a Yankee! You don't want to be associated with a bunch of traitors who lost do ya'?
61% Dixie. Just under the Mason-Dixon Line. Damn. My dad would be ashamed.
79% Dixie. Your neck must be a little pink!
Funny, because we moved "back home" to Arkansas right after I spent my toddlerhood learning to speak in Connecticut. I vividly remember that when I was about 3 years old, my mother explained to me that my grandparents were not intentionally trying to sound like the Beverly Hillbillies, so I shouldn't, either.
73% Dixie.
Ken, using spellcheck does not count as possessing the ability to spell. Just thought you should know! ;)
I'm not equating the use of spellcheck with an ability to spell correctly; just that using spellcheck should be part of the writing process.
Woo hoo! I'm 69% Dixie. My great gramma would be so proud.
Dude, I *never* use spellcheck. It is EEE-VIL. However, it's not as evil as that stinkin' grammar check that Microsoft came up with....grrrrr.

Oh yeah, and no doubt that Jess is a Southener--she has those 'lite fried chicken cookin' skillz.
