Your Result: The West

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
:obama:
I sound southern sometimes depending on who i talk to, but for the most part this about right

Northeast, but i'm from the DC Area, and born in Sierra Leone, came here at age 8

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Chicago
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North
You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

It's accurate, though. People say I don't have an accent and are usually surprised to hear where I'm from. You can hear it in certain words, though (I pronounce the "th" in south like a "f", and so forth)

That is my struggle :snoop:

Born and raised in NC

Test says Inland North :beli:

I don't have a strong southern accent, but it's there.

I got the West, which sounds about right. I stay saying "fill" instead of "feel". I try to correct it, but I dont even notice it most times unless someone comments on it.
