The quiz says I am “Midland”. Born in Italy, came to this Country in my very early twenties (Thank You God!). I have a strong accent and absolutely cannot pronounce short vowels. A voice made for radio or television? Ahahahahahah.... When I go back to visit my natal country, they tell me I have an accent, that I speak like a foreigner fluent in italian.
My mom got the same thing when she would visit England. She came here in her early twenties. Her relatives thought she had an American accent. A lot of people here in America can detect that she’s from England though even though she’s lived here for over 50 years. My relatives in England thought/think that all Americans have a southern accent. They think we all say y’all over here. Also, when I visited as a little girl and someone said “thank you”, they thought it was funny that I said “you’re welcome”. Not sure if they use a different term or don’t say anything when someone says thank you.
