I ended up as North Central. Oddly enough, I have lived in Texas my entire life. However, my parents are both from Ohio. Maybe that's where it came from? I've had people ask me if I'm from England before too. Weird!

Silver, when I lived in South St. Louis, the joke was that you had a southside accent if you warshed your Farks in the zinc after driving down highway Farty! I can also remeber my cousin being surpized when her son told her wanted a toy Fart for chirstmas (will that get past the moderators?)![]()
According to the test, I have a Midland (i.e. no accent). I guess all those years of living in AZ cured me of my Boston accent (and 5 years in southern FL). I am sure i definitely sound like someone from the northeast, but I do pronounce my "r's" although it is still not natural. When i used to yell at my kids, I would lose all vocal control and scream "get ovah heah!" to everyone's amusement...

Inland North. Oh come ON, Chica, you've got da accent. It's not livin' with da yooper, it's just you. Aren't you thrilled?
I'll never completely be rid of mine, either. It's like a plague or something.
Taking the State tests, tho, I'm %49 Wisconsinite and 88% Oregonian. Woohoo!!!
New Yorkers and folks from Jersey cause me physical pain, talking to them. And sometimes folks from the deep south. Sorry. If I can't understand you, or you maul english with such violence that I can't tell we speak the same language... wellllll....
I do really like some dialects, though. the ones that soften some consonants and just gently affect the vowels....I really like the sound of PNW speech, but can't copy it. Oh well.
OMG it says iam a Yankee! NO!!!!!!!![]()
I got "The West" . Which is appropriate. Funny.

Once when I was in college in Colorado, an tourist came up to me on the street and asked where the nearest "pack" was so his kids could play. I was a bit confused and asked him to repeat what he was saying a couple times. I was about to give him directions to the North Face store for backpacks when I figured out he meant "park". That was probably my first experience with a Boston accent.

"The West - Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you are 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."
I tried, and for the life of me, cannot imagine how Mary, merry, and marry sound different. But then I was born here in Seattle, so I guess it fits.
I got Inland NorthBorn, raised and continue to live in Massachusetts. Have never referred to carbonated drinks as "pop". Must be all those years of listening to "A Prairie Home Companion."

AHEM - to prove my true citizenship and upbringing...but of course! Ask any TRUE Canadian that question - a case of beer!
Also, of course, a holiday in May (in Canada, we always called Victoria day weekend May 2-4 regardless of whether it fell on our around the 24th or not!)
