Accent meme....

What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Midland. The Midland (please don't confuse with "Midwest") itself is the neutral zone between the North and South. But just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from there. Since it is considered a neutral, default, "non-regional" accent you could easily be from someplace without its own accent, like Florida, or a big city in the South like Dallas, Houston, or Atlanta.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Different Same

I'm amused. And no, I'm not from there, nor have I lived there for any great length of time - but my Mom grew up in Ohio, so who knows. I think it's just a "somewhere not bothering to have its own accent thing" though.

I'd have to agree, since I got the same thing, and I'm a southwest girl. Of course, I don't talk like most of the people here, and my mum's from Missouri and my da's from Iowa, so.
