McBeth 0 #6 November 1, 2006 The Inland North... Odd since I'm from the North East and now I live in CA. I guess my accent is confused. Edited to add: If I just said horrible differently I would be 100% NorthEast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindercles 0 #10 November 1, 2006 Quote"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. Kinda hard to be wrong with that one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, that doesn't mean you are from the Boston area, you may also be from New Hampshire or Maine."Burn the land and boil the sea, You can't take the sky from me.

Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent.
