I understand. These days you have to be careful with personal information.

People usually don't take long figuring out that I am a Southerner, but the quiz bombed out completely. I am rather proud of where I come from, and I find it interesting when it shows. But when somebody starts telling us what we call soft drinks/soda/pop/dope, it's a little scary.
