How about that. This quiz got me right, I grew up in southern Illinois.

Your Result: The Midland

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't
have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania,
southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but
then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of
those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice
for TV and radio.


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."

Well, I guess it might have localized me correctly, to Brooklyn. I suppose
some of this comes down to what I say, not how I say it.
