Dialect meme from New York Times

How Y’all, Youse and You Guys Talk
What does the way you speak say about where you’re from? Answer all the questions below to see your personal dialect map. (USA only)
A little misleading for a couple of reasons. I pronounce the "aw" in "flaw" and "lawyer" more like "ah" because those phonemes are collapsed into each other in my accent. And I say "y'all" more than is standard where I am from.
Anyway, I don't know anyone from Lubbock or Amarillo, I sure don't think I have the same accent as anyone from Little Rock, and actually I expect I talk mostly like someone from Dallas or Kansas City. OK, maybe a twangier version.
I took it again and changed some answers. http://nyti.ms/1jUZlwf That's pretty much where I am from.
