Big Shock

For you, Michaela, Judy Graves' result:

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Boston
 

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.

Who said Woo, part 2

So I just awakened from my slumber to hear an owl-y visitor-- the cute and creepy little screech owl-- singing his ghostly song. I don't know that I have heard one since posting about my first visit here on Silencio and so, curious, I logged on to look back at that post.

I'll save you the trouble of looking, but I just thought it was interesting... it was EXACTLY one year ago (ok, plus one day) that he last visited me-- September 11th.

Weird, huh?

As I always say, my peeps are Midwestern . . .

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.

Jersey Girl

I swore it would never happen but apparently despite my best efforts, my accent is now identifiable as "North Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island". Stephen, we need to move to New England RIGHT NOW! ;)

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Northeast
 

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

Me too...

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."
