What Kind of 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."

I have learned to speak a little of the local dialect here in SoCal (have eliminated "pop" as reference to....well pop...) but I slipped the other day. Lost once again, I stopped at a gas station and asked about the "espressway." "What's an expressway???" was the answer. (of course with the traffic here it is easy to understand why the term isn't used.)

And Cassie...that Chicago dictionary is also missing "by" as in...I went by my mother's house last night. (Non-Chicagoans would say I went to my mother's house...)
