What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Neutral. Not Northern, Southern, or Western, just American. Your national American identity is more important to you than your local identity, because you don't really have a local identity to begin with.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Different Same

This is pretty true. (except for the American Identity part) Non-Americans usually think I'm American, most Americans can't figure out where I 'come from' but think that I am American - if people can hear I'm not American, they usually think I'm Canadian. Of course, Canadians always laugh when I tell them this. Someone once called my accent the CNN accent.

Ha, mine said either I have a southern accent, or then I was overanalyzing the questions. I think it's the latter. [g] Someone said once I sound like I'm from Wisconsin.

P.S. I don't think it's Charlie's birthday until tomorrow. :)

I got the same result as you, and I don't think we speak THAT much alike...and I didn't get Midwest, which is funny because I =SO= am. But I mimic ANY accent I'm exposed to for too long, so I suppose in the end that does sound "all over"? Hee.

hee! no, I don't think so either...

It's funny, I don't really mimic American accents, but if I'm surrounded by Brit speakers for too long, my accent starts leaning, and I start using Britisisms. Which isn't too strange, considering I was taught British English for 8 years before I went to uni.

Oh man, me too. After Camp Sparkle my accent is always ridiculous. :D

I know, but I guess I can see why that would be, I think that's the area where Finns moved a lot, sort of like Minnesota.

sadly, even though I hung out with two Irish girls at WAC, I didn't pick up their cool accent. :s
