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 know I have a northern accent, but Wisconsin people sound completely different than people with actual Minnesota accents, which I do not have...


Yeah, we had a sub for Biology that was from Wisconsin and she had a very weird accent lol she called drinking water fountains 'bubblers' lolwut

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.]

HOLY SHIT THEY GOT IT

They got NYC right.

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.
'kkkkkkk
I've never lived on the West Coast. LOL

I do not have HIV/AIDS.
