Spot on for me. Matter of fact the whole state was the deepest red shade.

Pegged me as being Deep South, though I spent all of my life living throughout Texas and many, many years in southeast Arkansas. We're back in the Houston area now. Maybe I've just watched too much television in my almost seventy years!! Or maybe I like playing with language and sounds too much. Anyway, the test was a lot of fun to take.

I got Milwaukee, Rockport and Salt Lake City. Milwaukee would be the closest for a Yooper who grew up in lower MI, but whose tap-root is in the UP.

I found that fun to do - they said NYC, Providence or Worcester, which is interesting considering my address. I've visited all those places and of course the accent is nothing like mine. At least we understood each other, and that is what mattered. Thanks for the fun.

I would say the teat results are none too accurate. It indicated Omaha for me. I am from southern California. However, both of my parents were raised in eastern Kansas. Perhaps that is the influence.

Spot on for me. A few years ago, while traveling, we were in the deep south. I'd gone into a store and was thinking how differently people in that area talked. I said something to the clerk and she said "Where you from? You have an odd accent"

My, oh, my! What a hoot! I grew up (21 years) in NW PA. After I married, we spent about 8 more years in the eastern part of the USA. Then it was CA and WA state for 23 more years. This shows me as being Midwest, so I guess that's what happens when one mixes east and west! A lot of fun! Thanks, Chasing Hawk!
