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.

"The Northeast - Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak."
