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

Western. Like Midland, Western is another accent that people consider neutral. So, you might not actually be from the Western half of the country, but you definitely sound like it.

And if you're not from the West, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A Pittsburgher - the quiz can't tell the difference;
(b) Someone from Canada (probably southern Ontario) who doesn't have a Canadian accent;
(c) Someone from northern New England who doesn't have a New England accent; or
(d) Someone from Texas or the Heartland who was born after 1980.
You are definitely not from New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Detroit, the Deep South, etc.</font>

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

Hee!

According to the quiz, I speak standard American English. I think this goes a long way toward explaining why I ALWAYS get asked where I'm from, no matter what part of the country I visit. And perhaps it's a sign that I should become a spy!

Ah, but a spy for whom?

I expect it's from being raised in the heartland with a classical education. :-D

Hmm. Maybe I could combine the two and become a spy for Ancient Rome!

Now, how would you get the messages back?

I could combine my third obsession and use a Time-Turner!
