Most of us here are Americans, so there are a wide variety of potential answers there.

I think my overall attitude and demeanor is VERY distinctly American. Sort of like a hybrid of East Coast and Southern, but clearly American above all.

But for other Americans and those from other countries, what is the distinguishing part of you -- could be something you say, how you act, some cultural quirk, whatever -- that is a dead giveaway about who you are and where you are from? Besides simply your accent or language, what's the "tell" that would reveal these things to others?

I use Canadian spelling, I apologize a lot and I think I sound very passive in most of my posts.

For the purposes of a space like this, I guess that I talk about Italian politics, culture and music too often. In a different context (especially in the flesh) something different might come first.

I don't have health insurance

Kidding; the actual answer is that I'm a conceited egotist, and also, I'm overweight

Mostly when I travel, people aren’t sure where I’m from. In Spanish-speaking places, they think France.

I like French fries on my pizza. Ironically that gives it away to everyone other than an American despite that being called American style in a lot of places. Super hard to get fries and pizza in one place here.

According to this, the state that matches my personality the most is New York.

Yet I am actually from the South. But what's really fascinating is that when you look at Kentucky on the map, it seems to be the one state that's most a blend of everything. So it seems no surprise I myself would be kind of a hybrid.
