What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

I'm skeptical. But the numbers are reasonable enough. Somebody asked "what's 'General American' mean?" and my guess is some combination of Western Coasts (with California cities as the canonical example) and "CNN/NPR" English (Eastern city-dwellers (New York, Boston, Atlanta, DC) who haven't lived in those cities their whole lives.
