Tested as inland north which is accurate geographically. However, it said I would most likely call carbonated beverages "pop" which I did when I was a kid. Now I call them "sodies." Does that mean I speak my own dialect?

Here in the South, what ever carbonated drink it might be...it's called a coke! :~)

My cousin lived in Atlanta for a while. She was telling me about how everyone down there "mashed" buttons such as on an elevator. Now I admit to making "smashed taters," but I only "push" buttons.
