The title of this post is a new phrase I learned for when it’s raining and the sun is shining… thanks to the “What Kind of American English Do You Speak?” quiz. That has got to be a phrase from the south.
According to the quiz, I speak:
- 85% General American English
- 10% Dixie
- 5% Upper Midwestern
- 0% Midwestern
- 0% Yankee
Which I find interesting since: (1) I grew up in the Midwest; (2) I was educated entirely in the Midwest; and, (3) I still live in the Midwest.
So what does that mean? Apparently, we of Midwestern ilk have mastered English cold. Ain’t we?
