Got it in One!

Yep, born in Michigan, raised there till I was 13, then moved to northern Indiana (that is, seven miles from the Michigan state line). I didn't move out of the Great Lakes area till I was 22 and that was only for four years. This time I've been away for six and will probably be heading back in about six months.
This quiz does make me wonder, though, if we're the only ones who differentiate between various vowel sounds!
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."
The Northeast
The Midland
Philadelphia
The South
North Central
The West

What American accent do you have?
(Except for Mary, marry, and merry, of course!)
