What American accent do you have?
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."

What American accent do you have?



Which is pretty damn funny considering I've never lived anywhere else besides New Jersey. Heh.

Yeah, I'm weird with the way I talk, I guess. I've actually had people ask me if I've ever lived in the south before.

I've always been able to pick up and emulate people's accents after speaking with them for a while. It helped when I worked in sales and dealt with Texas and Louisiana. My leads were always surprised to find out I was in New Jersey. :)
