Says I'm North Central. Like Minnesota but that a lot of people might think I'm from Canada. I was born and brought up in Maine but have been living pretty much in the South since 1972. The only remnant of Maine is when I say about....it comes out aboot and I don't even know it when it happens.

"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."

Bang on ... Chicago here.

I took exception to question #8 - the difference between "Mary", "Merry", and "Marry". The choices were, all different, all same, or "Mary and Merry are the same but Marry is different".

Ummmm .... Mary and Marry are the same, but Merry is different. (Merry is pronounced like "Berry", Mary and Marry are pronounced like "Airy"). Am I the only one???

I need to have my English husband take it next. He's been in the states so long his accent has changed considerably. When he goes home to England a few shop keepers were surprised when he told them he was English. I would place his accent somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!!

OK ... English husband and I had only 1 answer different (pronunciation of horrible) and it placed him in the North East. He thought that was insulting. Well dear .... London was not one of the answers!

Accent, what accent? LOL I was pegged as The South...go figure...have lived in Mississippi all my 61 years!!

Mine did too...so, based on my logistics, I would say it's somewhere between Montana and South Carolina...:)

Mine was West - about as West as you could get - I was born and raised in California and have never lived anywhere else.

Spot-on for me. Midland...born in Iowa and raised in Missouri. So funny.

Midland for me ... right one. Born and raised in northern (not southern) Indiana though.

Mine said Midland but I'm born and raised in the West.

Nope, you're not the only one. I took exception to that one too. I pronounce those words exactly like you! :)

Funny. Like this one. Miss you when You don't give us a zinger for the day.
