  • Wow, i was born in texas and have since lived in South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, and this quiz said I have a Inland north accent. But both of my parents grew up in Wisconsin and my ENTIRE family lives there. People are always noticing that when I say sorry I say Sore-ee instead of Sar-ee, which is what people say where i live. So really this quiz was right on track!

  • Most people don't think they have an accent because all the people around them talk like they do. I've lived in a few states and accents can change from city to city not just region or state. A lot of times in bigger cites you can tell if someone grew up in the north, south, east, west or central part of that city by their accent. So, for the people that are saying that Americans all talk the same except Southerners, you are very wrong. There are thousands of accents in the US, you just have to listen.

  • Born and raised Colorado, also pegged with Midlands accent ... uh, and by the way, we don't have a region in the US called the Midlands, that's a British thing.

    Worthless quiz.

  • I should have not taken the quiz in the first place, as I am neither an American nor a resident of the US. I was just intrigued as to what my accent usually is when I speak English. I do not know whether the quiz was accurate but it said I have a Philadelphian accent. Well, I would not know the real score. I am from the Philippines and I have never been to the US in fact.

  • The answer to the quiz says that I am from Philadelphia or nearby New Jersey. Well, I am from New Orleans. New Orleans natives, especially those over 40, have an accent similar to New Jersey or Brooklyn. People born and raised in New Orleans do not have a southern accent like people from Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and northern Louisiana. We have a unique accent that is similar to that of New Jersey natives.

  • I actually took this quiz a while back and it said I had a Western accent. I've no clue what those sound like, though. Meh, like I said before, all Americans sound the same, with the exception of the ones with thick Southern accents. From another person's point of view, what do North Floridian accents sound like? Central Floridian? I've heard they differ, which I find a bit odd.

  • I have a Minnesota accent though I grew up in the deep South? Hm. All Americans sound alike, with the exception of the thick Southern accents which are easy to distinguish from the rest.

  • Now I understand why everyone around me thinks I'm from somewhere else. All my life people have asked where I grew up, or where I was born. Well to set the record straight, I was born, raised, and still live in Kokomo, Indiana. Yet I have always been asked if I was from somewhere else... I guess a bit of it is that I call a Carbonated Drink, a Beverage. Not "Soda, Pop, or Coke." However, when talking to someone, I find myself adapting my accent to match theirs. I have actually fooled a English chap into believing I was from Wales!

    Well Cheers!

  • When I took the quiz I really concentraded on the question at hand and souned eack of the answers by repeating eack of the words a few times ( yes I was bored and took alot of time with it but, they're determanation of where I was from was 100 percent correct. I was from Ohio and we did call it POP...Since I've lived in Florida 27 years now I started calling it SODA... I never noticed it till I was back in Ohio visiting years ago and my sister said pop and it made me laugh. Other than that It's the only thing the quiz came up with that placed me in Florida( and or ) a few other southern regions and I have lived 1/2 my life younger years in Ohio and now 27 years later Soda... is the only thing that my speech placing me here now. It sure would be nice if you came up with a Quiz similar but add in where the person is living now if it's been long enough to pick up they're regional speech patterns or ACCENTS!!! LOL... But it was fun to do and read everyone comments or opinions some were quite funny howmad some people got. It was just a quiz for fun and enjoyment I'm sure they didn't set out to offend some people. Smile, be happy, life is wonderful... :)
