    Daisy & Delilah - I bet that has to do with how fast you talk, not the accent itself, as we NorthEasterners tend to talk much more quickly than "real" Floridians I have known!

    This is so interesting! We have such a melting pot in Florida, alot of the time, it's hard to tell where anybody is from. Some native Floridians I know have no accent at all and some have a southern drawl


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    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."
    Pretty close, I grew up in upstate New York.

    That's a Southern accent you've got there. You may love it, you may hate it, you may swear you don't have it, but whatever the case, we can hear it.

    Ah hem.... It's the SUNNY South folks!

    LMAO i took that one just for fun:

    You are 11% Pittsburgh.

    Jeez-o-man! That's an awful score. You know nothing about Picksburgh. You're probably also a Dallas Cowboys fan. You're just not cut out for this quiz. I guess it's just a Burgh thing

    haha well considering i've never been to Pittsburgh, i'd say thats right on..uh, except for the cowboys part ROFLMAO

    Phred, I couldn't even begin to guess at an answer to most of them. I guess I am 0% Pittsburgh. LOL!

    Heh heh, I just did the 'How English are you?' and got 100%. I have to say though that the quiz was extremely biased as I rarely drink tea and I prefer my scones only with cream and no jam.

    I also did the Welsh one and I'm 74% Welsh, so does that make me 174% British?

    Midland accent here. I wonder why it says Southern Ohio? I think there is more of an accent there in Northern Ohio.

    As for the PIttsburgh quiz, never been there, but got a 97%!! I guess I have enough friends fromthere to understand the talk?

    Cincy'sMom, I think that would qualify you as an honorary citizen of Pittsburgh or Da 'burgh!
