This test has me wondering about a lot of things ... are there actually places where a picture of a cat chasing a dog means "dog chasing a cat"?

I doubt it. It's just a really, really, really bad test. In fact, I would go so far as to say it is completely worthless.

I'm not going to mock any test that's capable of telling that I speak with a Canadian dialect.

I'm going to mock any test which says you think.

American standard, Canadian, Black vernacular.

I'd like to point out that I don't speak a god damned thing of ebonics and instead this result was due to there not being a single grammatically correct answer in several questions. They just loved to eliminate the word "to" as in "to be" changing it to "be". Sorry but not offering a correct answer so that people are left to decide between least incorrect answers is not good.

Apparently Joncha is more American than I am!

Are you talking about places in the English speaking world or places where people speak object-verb-subject languages?

Native-English speaking world.

Ebonics is still closer to American Standard than Irish, English, and Welsh are. It should be in your top 3 alongside Canadian.

I don't get why some people have Singaporean instead of Ebonics, though.

I think the wording would confuse a non-native speaker. I don't recall the wording from that exact example but in general, the statements were not things like "dog chases a cat" but "the cat was chased by the dog". Parsing such statements might be tricky for non-native speakers. Honestly, they were kind of awkward for native speakers.

Because Singapore is the trendsetter for all the most common languages. Soon we'll all be speaking Singlish.

Who did Sue ask why Sam was waiting?

I think it's grammatically correct, but rather awkward.
