What Accent Are You?

I found this quiz over at Nature Knitter. I'm pretty sure I have taken this before, but I'm wasting time on the computer today and this sounded fun.

I am not from the inland north and never have lived there, but I do often have people ask me where I am from, even though I have lived in the northeast my entire life. I do see that the inland north and the northeast were very close.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North

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."

The Northeast

hmmmm....this called me a midlander. I suppose that could be true. I have lived in so many places that I have affected an interesting way to speak...mostly "flat accent" but I have a y'all in there, and I drink pop!!!

Apparently, I'm from New York!LOL!

So interesting. All my American relatives are from NY and Boston. Or maybe NY'ers sound most English of everyone?

Fun!
