okay, this will prove where you're from

This explains it!

My result? "The Midland."

I am born, bred, and raised in New England... both of my parents are also native New Englanders...

Yet, somehow, people say I don't sound like I'm from here... or they say "no, really, where are you from originally?"

As a native New Englander (Ipswich, MA), I got the same result.

I finally did this test. I got "Inland North" and never set foot in Chicago (well, I've sat in their airports a time or two waiting for connections, but that's it) or come remotely close to Wisconsin. I was born and raised in New England (Connecticut - although I did live for a time in Ipswich, MA - and Gloucester!). When I first moved to Gloucester from CT, folks asked me if I was from New York, as I have - to their ears - more of a New York accent. Maybe it was just my attitude as I think the comment usually came after I yelled at the Gloucester drivers!
