| What American accent do you have? Midland ("Midland" is not necessarily the same thing as "Midwest") The default, lowest-common-denominator American accent that newscasters try to imitate. Since it's a neutral accent, just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from the Midland.

Rather funny considering I have lived in the Southern US all my life. :-)

"You have a Northern accent. That could either be the Chicago / Detroit / Cleveland / Buffalo accent (easily recognizable) or the Western New England accent that news networks go for."
I found this fascinating... I've lived in Central IL, IN, and now Cincinnati over the last 28 years, but it appears my Chicago family and Wisconsin childhood remain a stronger influence than the places I've lived ...
What's your excuse, Charles? :)
Charles,
I'm also from the South and the quiz also puts in the same region as you.
I suspect it that it's looking for a country accent, which is different from a Southern accent.
@Eric - I'm glad to see you're still reading. :) To hear me and any of my family talk you'd never know we were related. I think my excuse is I watched a LOT of PBS and a LOT of cartoons growing up, none of which included the thick Southern accent I grew up hearing.
@Tim - I only have a slight Southern accent, actually. Charlestonians from a generation or two ago sound Canadian and even say "aboot". :-p
I fell into the Neutral category. Which honestly didn't tell me anything other than I'm "American" haha.
