Two of my blogging buddies had this quiz on their sites and I thought it was fun, so I decided to take it. Here are my results:
| 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 Midland | |
| The Northeast | |
| Philadelphia | |
| The South | |

Yes, people can tell I’m from the Midwest. We were in Nashville for a conference once, and the waitress asked us where we were from. We told her and she said, “Oh, Wes-CAN-sin”, trying to imitate our accent. We laughed and laughed at that one. But we never, never, never say pop. In Wisconsin, it’s always soda. If you say pop around here, we’ll know you’re not a true Wisconsinite!
