80% General American English
10% Dixie
10% Yankee
0% Midwestern
0% Upper Midwestern
I think I get the 10% Dixie because I say "Coke" instead of soda or pop, but I do that because if I'm having a carbonated beverage, I want it to be Coke, so that's what I say.

Upper midwestern is the Pop question, I think. Isn't Michigan the only place where we always call it pop rather than soda?

Most Pittsburghers & the people I've met from Ohio say pop, too.
