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.

On a related note, I was thinking this morning about localized words and foods. Things that you might take for granted and might be taken by surprise for not being otherstood when away from home.
I am thinking of putting together a poll of some local examples-we'll see.
