That's what I get from my wandering....

You can't tell, linguistically, quite where I came from.

What American accent do you have?

My results were New York. ROTFL!

Well, given the linguistic history of the US it would HAVE to be NE somewhere -- there are no allowances in the model used for the Isles.....

And, being the geek I am I want to write the author and tell them what to fix to make it more accurate, like "ah" for "ar" and "ar" for "ah"

That and the use of wicked as an adjective.

There was a total lack of the Nayaug/Maine pronounciation of "roof"

It told me I was "definitely from New York. Not New Jersey. Not Connecticut."

I think it doesn't actually know what a central CT accent sounds like.

I think it was designed by someone from the middle portion of the US, who soesn't have to deal with all of the cot-holder accents that layer over one another in New England & New York proper --

Hence everyone speaking King's English (UK and former UK holdings other than US) getting New York as a location.

Its nailing everyone from the Mid-Central part of the country. I have seen one Texan opposed to being called "western" accent but, despite their allegiences, it truly is West-not-South.

Then there is the "Evening News English" ---- a lot of Connecticut people get New Jersey/Philly. The author solicited feedback I just need to find the link.

It is, however, *amusing* if inaccurate.....

Yes, I agree. Apparently it got Amanda perfectly.
