I'm bored, so have a meme...

American Idol = good stuff. And that's all I'll say for now.

What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Northern. Whether you have the world famous Inland North accent of the Great Lakes area, or the radio-friendly sound of upstate NY and western New England, your accent is what used to set the standard for American English pronunciation (not much anymore now that the Inland North sounds like it does).

If you are not from the North, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A Southerner who hates Southern accents and tries really hard to "talk right"; or
(b) A New Yorker or New Jerseyan who doesn't have the full accent

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Same Different

It knows I'm from South Jersey. How weird.

I'm sleepy and achey from allergies, so there isn't much to report on my end. I'm around though if anyone needs me.

I got the same result, but it doesn't know where I'm from! I grew up in Nebraska, live in Missouri now. Never lived in any of the areas listed above. Last time I took one of these accent quizzes, it got me right, as I recall -- said something like Plains states, I think. This one failed me!
