I got my accent correct.
I think I have a mixed up accent—probably depends on the word. My mom is from England. My dad is from NC. I was born in AL, but grew up from a toddler to 7 years in ME, and the rest of the time I’ve been in CO. A little off topic, I remember coming to CO and I didn’t understand for a short time what my friends were talking about when they referred to a “coke” as a “pop”. We called it a soda or a coke.
Well, I have a Noo Yawk accent, but they pegged me as philly so I guess that’s pretty close
Let’s have some cawfee and tawlk abowt it!
According to the quiz, this Texan is from the northeast.
Midwest, educated, upper middle class accent. The so-called anchor man’s accent. Almost universally recognized as the “true”, most respected and recognized American accent. Basically, the way God would talk.
We speak NoDak, you betchya.
Says I have a Midland accent, which means know accent at all. The test would be correct.
I have the irritated superior accent.

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." |

It's where I am from, so I guess I passed....
Hmmmm... Got me right on, North Central, but when it says, “You probably don’t think the People in “Fargo” don’t sound funny,” I laughed, because I think they sound severely funny... so, I must sound severely funny. :D
Not only am I NOT from the Northeast, I have never even spent an apprciable amount of time there.
Of course, the fact that I HAVE spent aprecciable amounts of time overseas, in the mid east and far east, may have something to do with it.
Mine is inland North but I have lived in Southern California all my life.
Got mine correct, too. I have some differences from a standard New York accent (because I spent some time as a child elsewhere), but basically, it identified me.
I was born in and raised in Minnesota.....uff-da....lived in upstate NY, four years....eh?......raised my boys in Indiana....hoosier.....now live in Dallas TX....y’all.....depending on who I am talking to I can slip into any accent....if I start talking about the midwest....I sound like I am right from da old country.....
Well, I am from Indy, but my answer came out Philly.

Your Result: The Inland North
Connecticut Yankee, born and raised, but I have a Bostonian accent, just like my mother (also born and raised in Connecticut).
I strive to enunciate clearly.
Yo, Philadelphia.
Yep, I got the Inland North accent.
And I hate it when people say “fer” instead of “for”!!!!!
