Sandra from Minnesota.....I think you all from up there sound like Canadians! ;)

It was right on with me...Midland which includes southern Ohio.

Did not get me on target at all.

Got me perfectly, North Central, sometimes confused with Canadian. That's a Yooper, for sure. Eh!

Mine said Inland North too...I'm from FL.

Mine said the south- right on! I was raised in Mississippi!

It didn't work for me. I was born and raised and have lived all my life in Oregon. They said I had a Minnesota accent.

That was great. I've lived away from my birthplace for so long, I feel like I don't talk like anyone. But it got me pretty much right. Something I've always thought was funny -- when we were first married, my husband asked me if I had a "pin." I said "a safety pin or a straight pin?" He said "a pin you write with." !! He's from Kentucky. I'm from Upstate NY. What a combo.

Two of my sons moved to Oregon a few years ago and now they make fun of my Philly accent. Now their words/vowels are more flat. They do sound clearer than me. Oh well!

The quiz was right on. Told me that I was from Philadelphia.

Apparently. :)

Me too, especially that New York City part. Traveling in California we were asked several times where in New York city did we come from, meaning which of the 5 boros. You can take the girl out of the city (Brooklyn in this case) but you can't take the city out of the girl, LOL! May in Jersey
