Accentuation
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. | |

This quiz is, I suppose, somewhat accurate. I grew up in western Maryland, near the Pennsylvania border, although apparently I could be from anywhere. To the extent I have an accent, though, it would be something not included in the survey: the Appalachian accent, which is similar to the Southern accent, but has a flatter, harsher tone. I know that when I am in western Maryland, West Virginia, and environs, I tend to slip into this accent.
Of course, the survey is fatally flawed because it doesn't include that all-important category: Merlinese.
