American Accent Quiz

Leave a comment as to your results of this quiz. Here's my result:

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West
 

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

The Midland
 
Boston
 
North Central
 
The South
 
The Inland North
 
Philadelphia
 
The Northeast

Survey says: "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.""

I stopped calling it "pop" when I moved to California from Cleveland; right around the time I started saying "dude."

Dude... I really need to cut that out, too.

My survey was almost identical to yours. I agree with Drew when he points out how your colloquisms will give away your region better than anything. At least I think that's what Drew was getting at. I think I'll go have a soda dude.
