Too funny elbert - it does say I'm Canadian... eh?
Posted By: Short Re: try it - 11/10/07 11:05 PM
My result was: Neutral!
Posted By: elbert Re: try it - 11/10/07 11:13 PM
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?

Northeastern.

Mid-Atlantic... hmmm should be 500 miles further south

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

It caught mine right on if you consider New Orleans southern.

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). :-)

How come no one has jumped all over you for your "hateful streotyping"...is it 'cause you've been on the board for a while, or maybee that you live on the island?

I thought it was very funny, by the way!
Posted By: elbert Re: try it - 11/11/07 11:21 PM
Gee Im sorry pugwash.I didn't see it as hateful, if your serious its down.
I've always wondered how to spell maybee. where are you from?
Posted By: Otteralum Re: try it - 11/11/07 11:27 PM
Says I'm Western -- aka neutral -- as well. Huh??

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!!
Posted By: catdance62 Re: try it - 11/13/07 12:44 PM
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!
Posted By: crockhunter Re: try it - 11/13/07 01:40 PM
I'm neutral too. Kind of a shocker, since everyone from Minnesota is supposed to talk like they did in the movie "Fargo".
Posted By: pugwash Re: try it - 11/14/07 06:14 AM
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)
