masterrig 1 #27 June 13, 2007 Quote Considering this test rated me as "midland" and everywhere I have lived, NC, CA, WA, AK & OK EVERYONE knew the minute I opened my mouth I was born and raised in Texas, I'd say the test is bogus as in Bo, my friend's name, and Gus, my dad's friend's name. _____________________________________ They keep saying "midland'! Is that Midland, Texas or Midland, Michigan?Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

countzero 7 #31 June 13, 2007 midland. which seems about right, because even though i grew up in OK. and live in texas. i don't say "ya'all", don't have a southern drawl, and i use "ing" instead of "in" as in "skydiving" instead of "skydivin".diamonds are a dawgs best friend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LisaM 0 #40 June 14, 2007 QuoteNorthern You have a Northern accent. That could either be the Chicago/Detroit/Cleveland/Buffalo accent (easily recognizable) or the Western New England accent that news networks go for.

d_squared431 0 #42 June 14, 2007 North Central What people call the "Minnesota accent." Sounds almost Canadian. You may have even been asked if you were from Canada before Not sure if this is true cause I have always been asked if I am from the east coast. No one has ever asked if I was from Canada...

JohnMitchell 16 #43 June 14, 2007 Quote I used to have a slight southern accent but now i don't have it unless i drink a little bit lol it thought i was Midland. Me too. I was born and raised in Texas, spent a dozen years in Utah, then 2 decades in Seattle. A few beers or a few days in Texas puts the drawl back in my dipthong. But most days, especially since I make a living talking on the radio, I have a very neutral accent anymore. I still say "y'all" which puzzles peeps who don't know my history. As more of us travel, live all over, and watch national media, regional accents seem to be fading away. Valinda was disappointed when we went to Texas and they didn't all sound like cowboys.

I've been to Canada ONCE and that was to Montreal (although I get bonus points for that, as it was for a hockey game), so I'm not about to start the Great Canadian Spelling Debate.
