Well, that was spot on!!! Boston all the way! My address says Arizona (and I swear there is no AZ accent!) but after 50+ years in Boston and New England I just can't help myself.....

I am from the south, and proud of it lol Born and raised in TN all my life.

Mine stated Inland North something about getting away from the Great Lakes Well it was way wrong I live in Northern New York about 200 feet from the Great Lake Ontario all of my entire life.

Mine was right on. South East Texas to the core.

Inland North - NOT even - I'm South West!!! LOL

It said mine was Inland North and it is so wrong. I have lived in Florida since before I turned 2 years old. I was born in Ohio but I never lived there very long. Have only been back to visit it one time in my life.

It was right on - I grew up in CA, and it said 'The West which most people agree isn't really an accent.' I guess you'll have to tell that to my cousins. When I visited relatives in the Dakotas years ago, one of my young cousins said, " Say something else, Joanne. I just LOVE your accent.' Okay, maybe I didn't have an accent, maybe it was because I didn't have HER accent. They really do talk like that, you know - the movie 'Fargo', I mean. Now don't all of you Dakotans start dumping on me. You know it's true!

I tested as "Midland", too. I was born in Germany, raised in Kansas by a German mother and a father from Nebraska. I have lived most of my adult life in Southeast Texas. Of course I don't have an accent! :)

One time a friend from my hometown (Leavenworth) came to see me after many years, and she claimed I had developed a Southern drawl. I'm sure all the native Texans around me would have laughed at that. However, when I go back to Kansas now I do notice a few words that sound a little wrong to me. Can't quite pinpoint what's different.

The most interesting thing I've read on the subject of regional dialects in this country was a statement that at the time of the Civil War, there was no southern accent, or it was, at least, very different from what developed by the time we arrived. I wish I could remember where I read that. I would like to see some documentation. Surely speech couldn't evolve that drastically is such a short time. On the other hand, I think the whole country now sounds more like Southern California than it did when I was a kid, just because of the influence of TV and movies.

right on the money! i have lived in ALL those places! actually, i'm a bit of a vocal chameleon. i quickly and unconsciously pick up the accent of the person i'm conversing with. we moved around a lot all my life so it's no wonder i have a hodge-podge accent.:D btw--midland

How funny! Mine said Great Lakes area. Is that Michigan??????lol
