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.

Mid-Atlantic. This is what everyone calls a Philadelphia accent although it's also the accent of south Jersey, Baltimore, and Wilmington. Well, everyone that lives near there, that is. Outsiders can tell you talk differently from them even though they can't tell what your accent is.

If you are not from there, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A New Yorker who, unlike most New Yorkers, rhymes "on" with "dawn"; or
(b) A Yat from New Orleans.
You are probably not from Eastern New England or the Great Lakes area, and certainly not from anywhere in the West or Canada.

wonder where i live then - hehehehehe

rowan_d says she definitely would peg me for the western U.S. even if she didn't know I lived here. But I do believe my speech patterns were altered to a degree by four years at college in Upstate NY. (I grew up in Oregon, raised by Tex-New Mexicans)

I had a neutral accent as well. I've been told that before! Very odd. The weird thing is when I was at Gatecon, I think I could hear myself picking up other people's accents very easily. It's like when I marathon Doctor Who and start slipping into British accents. ;-D

Yes, on vacation (AT3 & travel before/after) I picked up a tiny bit on the Scottish and Irish accents...but mainly just the phraseology with the accent in my head.
