What American Accent do you have?
 
Stumbled accross this online quiz recently:

http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_america...nt_do_you_have



Your Result: Philadelphia:D


"Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard."

I supposedly have a southern accent. I know people that would agree and disagree, so who knows? lol

MeezDiscreet 11-21-2006 11:25 AM

"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.

funny...I am from Dallas

mmbrown23 11-21-2006 11:28 AM

My results: You have a Southern accent. Right on the money, baby! :D

Me too. I have been told that I had a Southern accent since I was a kid.

squirrely girl 11-21-2006 12:23 PM

100% midwest - yay ohio!

Drolefille 11-21-2006 12:28 PM

Midlander, although I object to anything south of Kankakee being called Southern Illinois. Just on principle.

I would agree!

orighu 11-21-2006 12:52 PM

Your Result: The Insland North
You may think you speak "Standard English straight from 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."

I'm from Denver - but I do call carbonated drinks pop ;)

jojapeach 11-21-2006 01:07 PM

I got the Midland accent, too. :( I've always been the Southern girl that talks proper, but I just paid attention in English classes.

A lot of Southerners and Atlantans will be surprised when I say I'm born and raised in Atlanta because I don't sound like it. Whatever. :rolleyes: At least I get joy that people outside the South hear my slight Southern accent. :D

ragtimerose 11-21-2006 02:20 PM

I'm sorta "generic" California with a little of my home town, NOLA, thrown in. And we call carbonated drinks "cold drinks". We refer to Barq's Cream Soda as "red drink".

A NOLA accent is different, depending on which part of town you're from. If you're from, for instance, the lower 9th Ward, you'd sound like ersatz Brooklyn. If you're uptown, you have more of a southern drawl.

I'm from the West Bank, but I paid attention in English class and am a former broadcaster (and present podcaster), so I really don't sound like a "yat" (as in, "where y'at?", the standard New Orleans greeting.)

Reds6 11-21-2006 03:01 PM

I'm Southern.

Try the one on wht type of person do you attract.

You attract Geeks!

Your stunning intellect and love of sci-fi and video games allures the geeks like nothing else. Maybe it is the sparkle in your eye that makes them want to text you, who knows. Geeks make good partners, but tend to be arguementative. If you are a TRUE geek magnet, you will know if that was spelled correctly, and actually care. If it is a bad-boy/bad-girl you are seeking, you are barking up the wrong tree, unless they are just 'bad' behind a PS2 console.

Sweet, I love my geek :D

Dionysus 11-21-2006 03:21 PM

I have a midland accent :) and I attract geeks. :(

tunatartare 11-21-2006 03:26 PM

Philadelphia

Rain Man 11-21-2006 03:34 PM

Right on the money for me:

Midland accent (Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, etc.).

Since I live in Ohio, my accent fits me perfectly.

BlessedOne04 11-21-2006 03:42 PM

Although I'm a midwest woman I've been told I have a southern accent.

jojapeach 11-21-2006 04:45 PM

You attract Yuppies!

You attract the very well-dressed, job oriented type of people. They usually have their finances together, are 'middle of the road' on most topics, generally happy with the 'main-stream' of things. If it is stability you are after, these are good people to attract, if you seek adventure, it may be time for an overhaul.

I like Yuppies, but Yuppies don't like me right now. I haven't dated one in about 6 months, dang it.

Reds6 11-21-2006 04:46 PM

I attract Yuppies and this is somewhat true! LOL

Proverbs31 11-21-2006 05:01 PM

It says I have a southern accent. :confused:

CrimsonTide4 11-21-2006 05:21 PM

I attract geeks.:confused: :confused: Since when?:confused: :confused:

SummerChild 11-21-2006 10:54 PM

Perfect results:
I have a southern accent according to the quiz and second for me was the midland north. Perfect b/c I'm born and raised in the Midwest (Chicago) and Atlanta.

DSTCHAOS 11-21-2006 11:34 PM

Neosoulchild 11-22-2006 01:00 AM

So am I the only person who got "The West"

I attract models :rolleyes:

Congrats, something about you makes those model-quality people flock to you. This is good for obvious reasons - they look great, just having them nearby attracts other models, and it opens doors for you - like exclusive clubs and whatnot. If you are seeking pure physical beauty, you are all set. If you are seeking someone that is not cynical and slightly bitter about humans in general, someone focused on the human condition and intellect, then you are out of luck - but who cares, you attract models!

cecarter82 11-22-2006 10:28 AM

The South:)

jitterbug13 11-22-2006 10:51 AM

My accent is: The South!!!! :D Right on the money!!

I thought I was going to attract yuppies or models but this is what I got:
Your Result: You attract artsy people!
Those free spirited artists with great imaginations find you interesting. They are usually interesting themselves, so its not a bad thing, but they CAN be a bit wifty and choose odd goals. If you like life to always be a bit 'different' from the norm, but not too extreme in any one direction, these are the people for you. If you seek logical decision making skills and good money management, you may want to change something in the way you appear. Artsy people are fun for adventure and exploring, so, have fun! (smoking weed helps too)

Considering who I have a crush on, this is probably appropriate.

kommitted1973 11-22-2006 04:16 PM

That's a Southern accent you've got there. You may love it, you may hate it, you may swear you don't have it, but whatever the case, we can hear it.

Yes i'm a Southern Girl.

treblk 11-22-2006 05:06 PM

My Accent is: The 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."

I'm not where from the North...I'ma a sad :(

OhSoVeryLadylike 11-22-2006 05:55 PM

It says I have a midwestern twang...



I am COMPLETELY SOUTHERN BRED TO THE BONE...but I have a very refined way of speaking.

KAPPAtivating 11-23-2006 04:10 AM

I have a Midland accent. I am from Kentucky (close to Southern Illinois). I have been told that I do have a radio voice several times before. Kinda weird.

MeezDiscreet 11-23-2006 09:43 AM

it says i attract yuppies but unless yuppies means unemployed and unattractive, that aint so.

delph998 11-23-2006 10:52 PM

BluBlaZon 11-23-2006 11:04 PM
