San Antonio, FT worth, Houston. I was raised in SA till I was 18, and went to college in Dallas so for me it's accurate.

Are you implying that those of us who got accurate results are less educated?

Those who are well traveled may get more obscure results. I went by what I grew up saying. If I went by how I would phrase or pronounce words today I might have gotten a very different result.

My three are Shreveport, Jackson and Birmingham. I am 100% OK with using typically Southeastern US colloquialisms in my speech as it is important to preserve heritage and the cultural aspects of who we are and where we came from. Nonnatives tell me I do not have a southern accent. I have lived in the greater Houston area all my life for the record.

As I already noted, mine said Jackson, Birmingham, & Montgomery. And it showed that my keyword was "y'all". Who doesn't say "y'all"!

Apparently, "y'all" linked me to San Antonio; but, I think that was in combination with most of my other answers. "Y'all" was just the solidifying word.

It was right on for me.

I grew up in Minneapolis, and that's what the quiz said.

As I've lived in Texas for a while, I thought about 'my first instinct' in how to answer a few of them.
