What's your accent? *spin off of mis pronunciation thread*

[DisMomme]

Quiz Results: Midland?????? I was born and raised less than 10 miles outside of Boston. Of course I spent 1/2 my childhood travelling to Maine, Canada and Pennsylvania. I guess that's why it couldn't detect my accent. It's a mish-mosh of everything!

 

[luvsJack]

Southern (of course!)

btw, its not pop or soda; its a coke! all carbonated drinks in the south (or at least in my part of the south) are coke. You just have to figure out "what kind of coke"

Yes - Donna and Dawna would be different:

Donna is : Open up and say DAAAHna.

As is : Turn the lights AHHHn

I think any *O* turns into an 'open up and say 'ahhhh' - Rob, Todd, On, iPod.

Dawna is - Awwww, isnt Dawwwwna cute - as in lawn, fawn.


My one G/F lives and is from Boston. Sometimes when I get on the phone with under I don't understand a word she's saying. If she talks too fast, I'm lost. So, if she laughs, I just laugh.

Any better understanding? Probably not.

LOL. Nope. Still don't have a clue how you pronounce Dawn and Don differently.

Yeah! Or it's just a drink. "What kind of drink do you want from the store?"

LOL. Nope. Still don't have a clue how you pronounce Dawn and Don differently.

I wish I could explain this. In the south, if you're saying Dawn, say the a as if you're saying aaawwww (as in if seeing a newborn baby), and just put that in between D and N.

I thought for sure I'd get south, but got west! I guess I really don't have that heavy of a southern twang as I thought.

What American accent do you have?
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.

Mine came back as North Central.

The interesting line was this: "outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot"

That's funny because I AM Canadian

 

[denise5374]

My result was "Philadelphia"...oddly enough.....I lived in a NW suburb my whole life.

 

[mamamary]

My result was Northeast. That was correct. Lived in NY most of my life.

I always laugh when I hear people say they are going to drink some "pop" because a couple of the guys I've dated have called their fathers "pop" so my first thought is "you're going to drink your father?"

 

[HeyIt'sMe]

I was born in Pittsburgh but have lived in the midwest (Indiana) since I was in high school.

My results: North Central

".....outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot....."

That's never happened by my cousin's friend in Connecticut told me I sounded like a Southern belle once .....

 

[donaldduck352]

The SOUTh,but at least people can understand me.Been to some places in the south where you need a dictonary!!

 

[CanadianImagineer]

""...Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot..."

I damnwell hope they do

 

[Alex&Evan'sMom]

Mine was Midland. I have lived in Alabama since I was 2 and was born in Virginia. But I sound a lot like my mom who has lived in several different places. It does sound pretty accurate because my husband always said my friends and I had our own accent.(or lack of one.) Maybe because we were all singers?
