I ran through it twice -- once with my acquired adult "accent" living in New England, and once with my youthful Milwaukee upbringing.

Both, of course, came up "definitive Yankee" -- unfortunately, my definition of "Yankee" since moving to Massachusetts (1970) -- Maine(1972) -- and New Hampshire (1980) --means New England, not just northern United States.

Tom tells me, though, that I was born a Yankee.      (Meaning a New Englander, as opposed to being from the Mid Waste. I was born a Yooper and spent my youth as a Cheesehead)
