It's an interesting one. I've always heard that the Pacific NW has the 'flattest' english in terms of accent and idiom. I don't know if that's actually true, but it seems to be.

This hits a little on accent and mostly on idiom. A more thorough test would be interesting.

Hey! I used the word 'idiom' in a sentence! Twice even!
