Also it is not color but coloUr! lol

This has being a public service announcement by the Department of Proper Speaking under the authority of her majesty the Queen Elizabeth the 2nd of England.

It's "mom," not "mum." It's "favorite," not "favourite." It's "realize," not "realise." It's "defense," not "defence."

hahahahahahaha

Anyway... here's my breakdown:
70% General American English
20% Yankee
5% Dixie
5% Upper Midwestern
0% Midwestern

California English is actually it's own dialect... but I suppose that it's just incorporated into the "General American English." I went to visit family in Massachusetts during January... and they kept saying that I had an accent... probably because I pronounce the letter "r."
