What Accent Do You Have?

The Inland North, WTF????

I'd rather die than call soda, "pop".

I tells ya, it doesn't ask enough questions to properly place people. No way my accent is not Southern.

If you go into a bar here and ask for soda, you're probably going to get this.

For a Glaswegian a quite refined one.

Although on occasion the inner weegie comes screaming out.........

Scouse

We're definitely having some fun here.

I sent Swerve some names asking him how he would pronounce them, since we both got Inland North.
They happen to be microlocator names - because I Guarantee people not from the Rochester area say them this way - and we know enough to differentiate between "our local place" and all the other places.

I've mentioned them on here in earlier threads before.

Charlotte
Avon
LeRoy
Castile

among others.

Then there is the nod to our Haudenosaunee brethren.

Irondequoit
Canandaigua
Tonawanda
Gonawanda

You definitely have a Boston accent, even if you think you don't. Of course, that doesn't mean you are from the Boston area, you may also be from New Hampshire or Maine.

I'm from none of them, being a Canadian prairie boy, born and bred.

Xenophobia prevents that test from admitting that Bostonians, New Hampshirites/Hampsheronians/Hampshirweegians and Mainiacals/Mainiacs sound like Canadians because they chase after a more perfect union, available only here.

I mean, it's obvious.

And it's never pop or soda. It's drink, or if the particular is insisted upon, soft drink.

So there.

Your Result: The Midland 88%

"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.

80% The South

80% Philadelphia

53% The Northeast

53% The Inland North

7,000 kilometres off isn't that far.

Just a hop, skip, and a jump. A really long jump.

Southern/Ghetto sounding.

Soda is the generic name for any carbonated drink such as Coke, Pepsi, 7-up, Mountain Dew, ginger ale and so on.
Pop is what happens when you stick a balloon with a pin.
