Accent
Funny, I couldn't even come up with an appropriate answer for #8 (Mary and Marry sound the same, merry is different). Regardless, it pegged me pretty well, saying I'm probably from North Jersey. In fact, I'm from central (Pennington) NJ, but my parents both grew up in Newark and Kearny, so I probably got my accent from them. What's funny, though is that my pronunciation of "route" has changed. When I was a teenager, I would have pronounced that "root". Now, I'd say something like "rowt" - my pronunciation has been corrupted by a CS degree.
