Yeah, right.

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.

What American accent do you have?

No accent? More like all sorts of accents, all mushed up. Because I've lived in several parts of the country and seem to be a sort of natural mimic in the bargain. When I moved to New York my co-workers thought I had a Midwest accent. When I moved to Atlanta folks said I talked like a Yankee. In Chicago, I had a "Southern accent" and now, in New England, that seems to be fading, evident only when I say certain words. Like, for example, Shicago. More like Hopeless than Midland, would be my call.

And no, I don't take Internet quizzes. This was an accident. It was.

Later: See what I mean? Even the little chart came out looking wrong. And yes I am too lazy to fix it.
