    them clevelanders know whats up. when I ask for coke, I expect the waiter to meet me in the bathroom to cut up some lines with me off the urinal.

    when I want "pop", means i'm just thirsty.

    I hate the word pop in reference to anything other than a noise.

    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."

    Weird, as I've never even been to some English speaking country. :D

    Amazing right on target: :eek:

    Answer: You have a Boston accent but you could be from New Hampshire or Maine

    Truth: I grew up 35 miles north of Boston and now live in New Hampshire - it’s uncanny :eek:

    I don't have an American accent. My English sounds VERY foreign. So I'm not even gonna take that test.

    Your Result: The West

    I can change my accent to fit the area I'm in. So this is sorta inaccurate

    the only people i know who call soda "pop" are people in the midwest and rural areas. i would consider that a great deal more american.

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


    "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.

    that just tells me that the questions asked of me would not be enough information to formulate and accurate description of my accent. I do have an accent and it's a west texas accent.

    Your Result: North Central


    "North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.




    I don't get mistaken for Canadian, I am Canadian :D

    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.

    hmmm.. ooook. im in small town missouri.
