Before I take any test, I want to point out that people from Ohio have unaccented speech. People from other parts of the country talk funny.

This doggone thing nailed me as being specifically from Boston without hearing me speak. Now that is wicked cool.

Just calling the grassy area between two roadways the "neutral ground" probably tagged me from New Orleans. I hated selecting "poor boy" because "poboy" wasn't a choice.

It had me as Boston (wrong), western New York (wrong) or western Michigan (close but no cigar). I was raised in southeastern Michigan and have spent the last 16 years in North Carolina, which seems to have confused this application.

Now, can y'all get me a Coney dog with some cackalacky and a bottle of pop, a'ight?
