<p>When you pronounce &#8220;talk&#8221; does it rhyme with &#8220;hawk&#8221; or &#8220;stalk?&#8221; This quiz guessed where I&#8217;m from very accurately. I grew up 60 miles north of <a class=zem_slink title=Philadelphia href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia" rel=wikipedia>Philadelphia</a>.</p>
