Aw my Gawd - What's your accent?

I saw this fun American accent quiz linked today from Gene Weingarten's weekly chat. I took the quiz, and the results were dead on. Really incredible. I've frequently been told I talk like a Southern girl... which goes to show that no one knows what he/she is talking about.


What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia

Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

This confirms what I thought too, despite people telling me I have a Southern accent. It says I have The Midlands accent, which means no accent. It says I should be a tv broadcaster. Yeah, me!
