My Results:

Western. Like Midland, Western is another accent that people consider neutral. So, you might not actually be from the Western half of the country, but you definitely sound like it.

And if you're not from the West, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A Pittsburgher - the quiz can't tell the difference;
(b) Someone from Canada (probably southern Ontario) who doesn't have a Canadian accent;
(c) Someone from northern New England who doesn't have a New England accent; or
(d) Someone from Texas or the Heartland who was born after 1980.
You are definitely not from New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Detroit, the Deep South, etc.

Oh no, I broke the site. ;-;

I live in CT though, whioch is said to be the most neutral accent in America.

Supposedly CT is where actors and actresses come to neutralize their accents, or perfect thair accents if they aren't native speakers.

Neutral. Not Northern, Southern, or Western, just American. Your national American identity is more important to you than your local identity, because you don't really have a local identity to begin with.

i live in the midwest - near Chicago.

Mid-Atlantic. This is what everyone calls a Philadelphia accent although it's also the accent of south Jersey, Baltimore, and Wilmington. Well, everyone that lives near there, that is. Outsiders can tell you talk differently from them even though they can't tell what your accent is.

Well it works, I was not born in the U.S. and I have not lived anywhere else beside the Mid-Atlantic ever since moving here.

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."

Can someone please explain to me how "cot" and "caught" can be pronounced differently?

Cot - Cawt
Caught - Caw-awt

That's sort of how I say it.

Caught - Caw-awt

That's sort of how I say it.

Caught has only one syllable.

[Himu]

Caught has only one syllable.

No, I say it fast enough to be one syllable.

It's hard to explain.

Cot - short vowel

Caught - long vowel
