Mine was neutral also and that makes me wonder having been born in Mississippi and picked cotton.

It suggested my location as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.....I don't get it?



This is a Joke, by the way: It pegged me as Northeastern, and I suppose New England is as close to England as the results allow?

I'm Neutral! I can live with that. I guess when I moved to Texas my attempt to drop my Canadian Accent worked.
Either that or saying Y'all and Eh in the same sentence cancels each other out. wink

ok for you "proud to be neutrals" - Roget's - neuter,uncommittted,uninvolved,without distictive characteristics,bland,colorless,showing no involvement,indifferent,impersonal. As O'Reilly says, "What say You"? (all in fun, of course). :-)

I thought it was very funny, by the way!

No, i don't see it as at all hateful, I found it very funny, but there have been some readers who have questioned my sense of humor!

Maybe should only have one "E". I usually use spell check, but thought I could get away with 2 lines unaided.......Wrong Again!

England, then LA, New York, Dallas, Chicago, Boulder, Vail, Honolulu, Red Lodge (Montana) now Moab, but i did leave them all voluntarily

My humor has some problems as well.
This accent test seems to be defective doesn't it.
I've found obliquely doesn't work on the internet and I think I may be a very sarcastic person at heart. Makes for a lot of confusion at times and creates a need for these little smiley things. smile

My solid St Louis Midwestern accent has been corrupted by 4 years in Nawlins. I graded Southern. PS. Yat: I'm a Whodat, yat!!

Neutral---I guess I've lived in too many places. Either that or I KNOW how those things are supposed to be pronounced....I just don't always do it! GO figure!

I'm neutral too. Kind of a shocker, since everyone from Minnesota is supposed to talk like they did in the movie "Fargo".

Best movie "one liner" ever was from Fargo...the guy who couldn't afford personalized plates, so he changed his name to 469 GWX7

(Not those exactly, but I don't have the means to check for accuracy at the moment)
