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."

Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

"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.

Ditto. Not surprising.

The Midland.

It says I could be from one of those big southern cities. I guess Houston counts.

Yup...same here.

That's a Southern accent you've got there. You may love it, you may hate it, you may swear you don't have it, but whatever the case, we can hear it.

Mine was right on. The northeast, probably from NY. Most similar to New England.

Bingo!

I don't have an accent either.
It gave me mostly central North, but pegged me for Boston (which is right up the road) but I definately don't have the Boston accent.

I say my "ahhh's" and my words ending in a don't end in r

Dude, I just had a wicked good idear, we should go to the bah.

Learn to be happy. You can't be there for anybody else in life if you can't learn to be there for yourself.

Northeast, which is definitely right.

I've done a lot of these (mostly stupid) quizzes and this is the first time one has ever worked.

I was a direct hit for me.

Philadelphia (or close. such as south jersey)

Same here... dead on.

Why does it say "Append signature to post" when I don't have a signature?

Northeast for me. I used to have an absolutely horrible Long Island accent when I was a kid and teenager, but I grew out of it. I didn't know I had an accent until I moved to FL at age 14 and everyone at school made me say words like "dog" over and over again.

I still get confused when people say "pen" and "pin" the same way. What the hell? Different vowels, people!

And "cot" and "caught?" Different! But I do not say "cawt" anymore.

I'd say I have no accent now. At least nothing strong...unless I'm around a New Yorker, then it's contagious.

And I still jokingly say "couple two tree"...that's a NE PA thing apparently. As in, "I had a couple two tree beers last night."
