What American accent do you have?Your Result: The NortheastJudging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak. Fourth highest result was Boston. So it's not too off.

What American accent do you have?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."  Im actually insulted. Im from Westchester County for godsakes, not Fargo. I can see the NYC skyline after driving about two minutes from my drive way.  And Poochie I too have disdain for the use of the word "Pop" to describe Soda.   Second result was northeast so i guess its not way way way off.

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." But, why?!

I got Inland North too, even though I was born and spent the first 18 years of my life in Rhode Island where I had a wicked Boston accent.  When I went to Southern Cal my freshman year, my next door neighbor was from Watertown, Mass. and people would come into the room and just sit and listen to us talk to each other.  Then I transferred to the Univ. of Tampa and while standing in line for lunch one day, I was talking to my friend about this guy, Bah-knee Clock (Barney Clark).  He couldn't understand who I was talking about and I said, you know the guy with the ah-ta-fish-al hot (artificial heart).  The entire lunch line doubled over (and it wasn't from the food that time). And for the record, I too have never called it Pop.

Saying pop is the superior way of referring to sweet carbonated beverages. Soda = unflavored carbonated water. It gave me midland, but it could have just as easily been Inland North, which is absolutely on the money. And I've said it before on this board and I'll say it again, the Rhode Island accent is the one for me that's like nails on a fucking chalk board.

Your Result: The NortheastJudging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak. I grew up in the Bronx, Went to School in Northern NJ and now live between Yonkers and Brooklyn. It has pegged me!!!

Your Result: The Midland "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.

Since club soda also has soda in it, we just retain "soda" for that, and use pop to refer to soft drinks. Calling club soda "soda" makes a hell of a lot more sense than calling it "club"

Northerners call me southern and Southerners call me Yankee. I don't have an accent at all, but when I'm around people who do have one, I pick it up easily. My father has a very strong Norfolk, VA accent, even though he hasn't lived there in over 40 years.

well before I took the quiz I was going to say "slight westchestah" - they say the Northeast, with Philly on top - close I guess "Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak."

"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.People with strong accents often tell me I have an accent. People with light or no discernable accents often tell me I don't have much of an accent, in other words no southern accent. Whatever.
