What American accent do you have?
This one was pretty accurate for me. Here’s what it said:
Result: 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.”
Why must we always get called out, when we use the word “pop”? *cry*
Apparently I talk like “The Midland”. In our ever transient society, perhaps vernacular is more telling than pronunciation.
Vernacular like “pop” and “tree lawns”?
im from Aus.. i dont get it???!!!
I’m “The Midland” too: “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.
I do, however, call soft drinks pop.
