Actually I lied a little. I grew up calling Coke "soder pop" but quickly changed my ways once I moved out to California. Just like couches are no longer davenports to me. And Suisse Mocha - pronounced it Sussy Mocha until I was 10. My mom still pronounces it that way.

It's a very interesting test though, because it doesn't distinguish between Californian and "General American English" and, although it's probably closer to the general, because of the whole movie business, I think there are still differences. And what about NewYorker? Is their linguistic profile yankee? (those are rhetorical questions, btw, unless you happen to know then answers).
