Be aware of stylometric deanonymization.

It may be spooky but it definitely won't be enough in court.

To quickly demonstrate this, take this test --http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html?_r=1&
The test is oddly good and only reveals location using some simple rules, not hoards and hoards of data the NSA absolutely has from your email, your facebook, and everywhere else.
That example is a little misleading for the topic. It focused heavily on pronunciation to narrow your dialect, which isn't going to show up in text analysis. There are a surprisingly large amount of dialects in the US, and they're regional enough to be fairly accurate at guessing where you're from.

Took that dialect quiz you linked to in your original post and lucky enough the were completely wrong about me haha.
Guess it pays to be influenced by people from all over

Stylometry is legit and can identify the author but, it’s also quite easy to fool: https://www.cs.drexel.edu/~sa499/papers/adversarial_stylometry.pdf
Basically, try to change up your writing style / words and that goes a long way towards defeating stylometry.
