Interesting!
When I was living in San Diego, people kept asking me where from the East Coast I was from. In New England most people could tellI had a European (German) accent.
Now they tell me:
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."
Weird! But then again it's been a year since I was in the US last. Maybe the Irish, Scottish, and English people corrupted me in the meantime.
