Re: Accent quiz
 

Wow...got me as "Inland North" which it says includes Chicago .

Re: Accent quiz
 

"Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?"

I think it worked. :D

Re: Accent quiz
 

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland


"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Yup, born and raised in Southeast Ohio

Re: Accent quiz
 

LOL quite fun!

It said that I'm from the Midlands which is incorrect as I'm originally from Florida. However I did spend the better part of 2 years actively working on losing my southern accent so that could be the culprit.

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying you don't have an accent."

Re: Accent quiz
 

Don't lie.
When you finished the quiz, it said "You're short!"
:D

Re: Accent quiz
 

Inland North. It is a 1000 miles off.

Re: Accent quiz
 

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West


Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

pretty much, and I am in fact originally from the "west"

Re: Accent quiz
 

Inland north. Which is kinda odd since I've lived in almost all of the southern states my entire life.

Re: Accent quiz
 

"The West"... Wow! Well constructed quiz! Born, raised, and currently live in CA

Re: Accent quiz
 

Didn't do me very well, but us Floridians sometimes lack a noticeable regional dialect. All your northerners down here to retire have blended out the drawl :P

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

So where the hell does Cleveland fit? If it's Inland North it got me right...although Cleveland is on one of the Great Lakes...

Re: Accent quiz
 

It was wrong, it says I am from the south and I am from Florida. OoOHHHHH wait Florida is in the south:r

Re: Accent quiz
 

Philadelphia for me, and it got it right.

Re: Accent quiz
 

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia
Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

Re: Accent quiz
 

"Last question. When you say "bag" does it rhyme with "vague"?"

W(ho)TF talks like that? How do those two words rhyme? :r

Re: Accent quiz
 

It got me. It said Northeast "udging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak." Born and raised on Long Island so I would say it got me.

Re: Accent quiz
 

That's what mine said... but I was born in Cali, started school in NJ, grew up in W.Va., and went to college in Mass.

It was definitely right about one thing... I do call carbonated drinks "pop." :D

Re: Accent quiz
 

lol kinda... We're more like where the North comes to retire.

But we do have a great concentration of Southern accents y'all!

(It should ask that question. If you consider "y'all" its own word, you're from the south lol).

Re: Accent quiz
 

Wow I'm impressed it got me too Philly accent

Re: Accent quiz
 

It called me Midland or no accent. I think some of the questions are geared to non-US english speakers.

Re: Accent quiz
 

And "all y'all" is it's plural.

Re: Accent quiz
 

Midland/no accent. Pretty much right being from Phoenix, but I really do like using "y'all" ;)

Re: Accent quiz
 

It was spot on :r

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Northeast

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

Re: Accent quiz
 

Some of my family will say bag and beg like "baig". Same with leg, "laig". :r

Said I was midland or don't have an accent and that "You have a good voice for TV and radio". I was in radio for 13 years, go figure. I always tried to speak "proper" english and not like most around here. Born and bred in western NC.

Re: Accent quiz
 

Your Result: The Midland:r................till I was 18 it was Boston area

Re: Accent quiz
 

The West. Go figure, that's where I live.

Nailed my accent.
