American Accents (take the quiz!)

[Caity]

Yeah... it's supposed to be.  *lol*

The furthest south I've been is Memphis.... Now there's some good sweet tea.  :P

[Trieste]

I clean out my milk gallons as I finish them and make my own sweet tea in them. I'm addicted to the stuff.

[Moondazed]

I make iced tea for my family too, but it's made with green tea and a variety of other herbal teas, then lightly sweetened :)

[Trieste]

Yeah, i find that I experiment more in the summer than the winter. Wintertime is sort of when the sweet tea is the run of the mill stuff, but I tryout hot teas that are apple spice and pumpkin cinnamon and peppermint raspberry and all that.

[Caity]

My mom makes good sweet tea... But I can't make it worth anything.  *lol*

I like green tea too... really any kind of tea.  Sweet tea is pretty.... rare for me.  Maybe a pitcher a week?  :P

[Moondazed]

My family drinks a half gallon a day :)

[Caity]

My 1.5 liter of green tea is almost gone... I got it yesterday... Is that a lot?  *lol*

[Cherri Tart]

... would you like to visit? I have a place you can stay! :D

only if its damp and dark and you'd feel obliged to manacle me to a central beam, Trieste - i mean, how could i refuse? *giggles*

[Tawni Black]

I have a Midland accent, although looking at the list below for how you were on others it looks like I'm borderline "The West" as well.

[Lady Annabelle]

*pouts*

I am NOT from the Inland North.  I have never been to Wisconsin and I have only visited Michigan/Chicago for a weekend.  And I do not call soda, "pop".  It's soda.

*glares at the test*

I was born and raised in Missouri.  I was expecting to get the Midland answer.  Curse me and my diction.   :(

[Maeven]

Midland for me as well, though, I'm pretty sure I still have a lingering southern accent. Especially with some words.

And... for the record, I'm with Ket on the explanation for 'coke.'  It's all coke until you are narrowing it down to the flavor. 

And don't even try to pretend that Pepsi is an acceptable substitute for a coke. 

[Kalen]

Don't be silly... by your own definition Pepsi is 'coke'... how can 'coke' not be an acceptable substitute for coke?

[Ket]

See!!!  My point is proven.  

And Mae....pretty new avatar!  -licks your heels-

I think its mostly a geographical thing, the closer to Atlanta you are, the least likely that Pepsi is even in consideration when someone says, "Do you want a coke?"

We just... didn't drink Pepsi. Ever.

Thank you!! It was time for a change.

[Inkidu]

I got the Midland.
Which is funny because, I'm from Alabama. However, my dad was an English professor. ^_^

[Kalen]

According to this quiz, I may be mistaken for a Canadian.

Funny how that works out...

[Dawg]

Just put on yer took eh and takoff yoo hoser

[MusicNeverDies]

Me too. Odd ain't it?

[Greenthorn]

Well Canadians are the only ones who say ABOOT!!  (for about)

[The Overlord]

Well Canadians are the only ones who say ABOOT!!  (for about)

I think the Scots say it in a similar way?

[Greenthorn]

I think the Scots say it in a similar way?

Really?  I don't think I've heard anyone from Scotland speak yet (besides Hollywood)

[The Overlord]

Well I've heard a fair number, but I'll admit I can't recall if I've heard them say it that way on TV or in RL.

[Greenthorn]

Well I've heard a fair number, but I'll admit I can't recall if I've heard them say it that way on TV or in RL.

I usually don't notice accents as much unless I am personally speaking with someone...I tend to really enjoy others' voices and the way they speak.  I have a Canadian friend who I've known for six years and "aboot" is something I've teased him about...as he teases me about words like "taught".

(Overlord I actually have something to ask you.  You are up for the Member Spotlight but I cannot reach you through PM)

[concessionis]

Midland for me, too. No surprise there, really, I'm from Southern Illinois--one of the places it suggests.

[The Overlord]

And I know from experience that Illinois has quite a wide spectrum along its length. The southern regions bear little resemblance to the tri-state area. In some ways it doesn't feel like the same state.
