Labeled me Philly
I'm not from Philly or anywhere close. This must just consider accents of the EAST. I don't sound anything like those people who BOO Santa.
|
The West for me.... ;) I lived longer on the west coast than the east.
|
The results from the test said I was from the Great Lakes area which is right. I have heard that you pick up your accent during the first few years of hearing speech. I left the Milwaukee area in 1969 at about age 8 for Reno, NV., so that fits.
Of course, some people seem to be able to adjust their accents rather quickly to new environments. Not me, I still sound like a cheesehead at age 52. |

Not only did this peg me (raised in Missouri, lived many years in Southern Illinois), but I also worked on-air in radio for some years with a smattering of television (didn't do well on TV; lights hurt my eyes). |
It says I definitely have a Boston accent. Yay!!!! I grew up in Massachusetts near the New Hampshire border but have lived in the New York City area for 37 years. GO PATRIOTS!!!! GO RED SOX!!!! Guess I kept my accent too :)

Very Interesting!
Did the quiz even though I am a Canadian and it said I was North Central , mentioned Minnesota, and could easily be mistaken for Canadian! Spot on.

Not even close. Says Inland North (where in heck is that???). Most of my accent is a mix if there's an accent at all -- Western with a touch of New York/Jersey and the deep South.
|
Midland??? or no accent at all
Born in California, there is the NO accent!....Most of my time in Florida and NC....Guess I should be glad that I got out of NC without picking up the Weeu-ins and You-ins!
|
spot on with me. Inland North. I am from upstate new York home of Gramma Brown's Baked Beans, white hots, deep fried haddock best in the land..go Doug's Fish Fry
|
It told me I was "Inland North". I'm from western NY most all of my life. I've worked as a narrator in the past an am told by many I have a "radio voice".
I'm not sure where "inland north" is, but if that is western NY, Buffalo/Rochester area, they got it right. Frank |
Born and raised in Chicago. Last 40 years in Northern California and I still say George Warshington.
