Last time I took this test it put me in and around Oakland, California, which was very accurate since I'd lived in the Bay Area for much of my adult life. This time, for some reason, totally different locations -- Jackson, Mississippi; Rochester, New York; Honolulu, Hawaii; and the Bay Area. Personally, I'd guess this go-round is the more accurate since I have a tendency to use words as I learn them and continue using the words from that region. The West Coast uses freeway a lot; I don't. San Franciscans drink soda, I drink Co-Cola. And so on and so forth.
