That was an interesting quiz. I got the same thing I always get, however...I have a "neutral" or "no" accent. Oregonians' accents fall into one of three categories: None, Redneck, or Transplant From Somewhere Else. And just in case you were curious about how Oregonians pronounce "Oregon," it's identical to "origin" except with a hard "g" sound. (Or occasionally almost like "organ" with just the slightest hint of a middle syllable.) Not "Ah-re-gun" and not "Or-re-gone" like I hear from network newscasters sometimes.
Like the quizz. This is what I got You have a Philadelphia accent although it's also the accent of south Jersey, Baltimore, and Wilmington. Well, everyone that lives near there, that is. Outsiders can tell you talk differently from them even though they can't tell what your accent is
You are most definitely from New York City. Not New Jersey, not Connecticut. If you are from Jersey then you can probably get into New York City in 10 minutes or less.
Hmmm 10 minutes or less. Lets make that 10 hours or less. I guess you shouldn't take the test if you're ot an American. hehe.
