I took it twice to account for how I sometimes pronounce words, and how I usually pronounce words.

The West - no surprise here
The Midlands - probably shouldn't be surprised because my grandfather was from Missouri and my grandmother from Colorado.

Just curious. What triggers you to say things in the less-usual way?

I had a strong upstate new york accent before I moved to FLorida. At Work people could tell by my accent where I was from. Now after being in Fl for 4 years I think I have lost it. lol Took the quizz and I got Philly

What does an upstate New York accent sound like? Different than NYC or NJ?

Your Result: The Inland North
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."


Hum... This is fairly accurate for me with the exception of the word pop.. I call it soda...

I've never called soda "pop" before in my life--as I'm from the West. But I like it when Midwestern's say it...
