As a child, we had breakfast, dinner, and supper, in that order.

Here in rural Tennessee and where I was raised down in SW Arkansas, we still have breakfast, dinner and supper. When they said lunch in bootcamp, I didn't have a clue what they were talking about. I was ready for dinner.

LOL! I have to admit, I do love the British Accent

Well, it's a time honored 'activity' of American youth, showing 'affection' for a neighbor, or a friend.

I had to work as I was going through College.
Our store manager bought a brand new Firebird.
He threatened us not to touch it or go near it.
Ever.

Of course we saw it parked over at his girlfriend's house on the street.
We were all out on the town after work, and technically covering it in TP isn't touching, it's protecting it.
I'm thinking the beer made us come to that brilliant conclusion.
Anyway it ended wrapped up rather tight, like a Christmas present.

He wasn't happy the next day ...




Oh, by the way...

Mostly General American English with emphasis on Upper Midwestern doncha know... :d
(I pretty much blame living in South Dakota for a decade for that result.)

Dixie with a spattering of Texican (I'm fixin' to go down to the store). Living up here in the North, I'm often told that I have an accent, although my family has never mentioned it !!

Re: same

I grew up in Casper Wyoming, so I guess I speak upper northwestern. I was at my late
grandmothers place in Vegas one time and her friend walks in and Plants a kiss on me and
Says "I love your Accent" After my shock I think I said thank you. She was in her 30's.

I speak British English shaped by the various places I have lived in the UK but I thought I'd have a crack at the test. There were a few questions where I was left with no answer though. No expression for an easy class was listed, and it's a shopping trolley. I also work out in trainers, but apart from that it was fairly straightforward.
