Finally, Somebody Gets My Accent Right!

For once, my accent is categorized as Western American, or normal, as my dad would say. Not British/Australian/what-have-you. (Yes, lately, people have been saying I sound Australian.) Of course, it had to be an online quiz. LOL.

What American accent do you have?

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.

And if you're not from the West, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A Pittsburgher - the quiz can't tell the difference;
(b) Someone from Canada (probably southern Ontario) who doesn't have a Canadian accent;
(c) Someone from northern New England who doesn't have a New England accent; or
(d) Someone from Texas or the Heartland who was born after 1980.
You are definitely not from New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Detroit, the Deep South, etc.

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

Yoinked this from ya. I always thought that we in Western Canada had the same accent as in the US. The "normal" one like you just said, lol. Guess I'll see what the quiz says...
