What kind of pup I am

In surfing that last site, I found this quiz too, "What Breed of Puppy Are You?", and just couldn't resist finding out what kind of pup I am:

You Are a German Shepherd Puppy

Intelligent, quick witted, and a bit aggressive.
You've got the jaw power to take a bite out of anyone you choose.

Egad! A "general American"

So I took this quiz and found out that I speak "general American English".

Your Linguistic Profile:
65% General American English
15% Yankee
5% Dixie
5% Midwestern
5% Upper Midwestern


Egad! I guess I skimmed the title, "What Kind of American English Do You Speak?", a bit too quickly and missed the word American because I thought it was going to measure if I spoke American, Canadian, or British English. Oh well. It's interesting to confirm that I speak like a Yankee though! :-)

More progress!

I edited my article from 53 pages down to 43! And it has now been sent to the editor! Yippie! I'm so relieved--and still amazed at how many extra words there were that needed to be cut anyway! That's one more (half) strikethrough on the list, and it feels sooo damn good!
