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 live in Texas. Go figure.

Here is a little lesson in Chicagospeak; it's true! The only thing it's missing is "carkies" which you put into the door to unlock, and the ignition to start your automobile.

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...)

huh... I guess i have a Canadian Accent, eh?!
What aboot that!
Luv my kitties!
Well my fellow Canadians, guess we all sound the same. I took the test and just about fell out of my chair laughing when it said North Central - probably mistaken for a Canadian. This was fun, thanks.

Well, they couldn't have pegged me any better than the Inland North since I grew up in Wisconsin and live in the Chicago suburbs. But they really got me with that first sentence.

Love you and STILL miss U
Mine is midwestern which is really strange since I'm from Tennessee and moved to Florida when I was nine. Wonder why?

I did the right thing by setting you free
But the pain is very deep.
If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
I miss you
I hear you whimper in your sleep
I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.
Fur as dark as the night.
Join me on this flight.
Paws of love that follow me.
In my heart you'll forever be.
[/SIZE]
How I wish I could hold you near.
Turn back time to make it so.
Hug you close and never let go.

Your Result: The West
Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
Makes sense, since I have lived in Wyoming or Colorado almost all my life.
