okay, this will prove where you're from

LOL Trek!!!

I am from the NorthEast TOO!!! (Most likely Philadelphia or the Inland North)

Go figure... only visited California and that was over 20 years ago for 5 weeks or so!



For you Northern gals, one of the biggest defining words here is the word six.

If you say it like "licks" - you're from NZ

If you say it like "sex" - you're from Aussie - most probably Sydney

And apparently us Kiwis say fush and chups...

You north easters must sound Aussie/kiwi...

Just adding my Northeast result to Roadraven's. :P

Road raven it's the other way round! Kiwi's say SEX instead of six. At least that's what our COMEDIANS lead us to beleive

Emily, do you say woooter instead of waaahter? That's my biggest philly-ism

They pegged me for Philly right away, I guess it's pretty noticeable. Well, I have lived here all my life!

Nope, wahter. I think the reason they didn't peg me as a southerner is because I was taught by both my parents (who were well traveled, and my mother a trained actor) to enunciate, and the difference between "pen" and "pin" and "Ben" and "been", which a lot of southerners don't get. I guess the Philly thing came in because I say "Mary" and "merry" the same but "marry" slightly differently. I definitely don't sound like a Philly/south Jersey-ite, though, not in any way!

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." ..... You have a good voice for TV and radio." .... or customer service
