It really only shows when you're telling someone they're too bookoo.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia
Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington.
if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

What American accent do you have?
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.

You prolly have a cute accent. I don't think I have heard you speak, actually.

Does anyone ever say "pry" in place of "probably?" Where does that come from?

Poor schooling.

I do say "prolly." And when I'm super lazy, the L's get slurred more and more, so by the end, I could conceivably say "prah-y."

When I first started work in an office (sixteen, in hindsight how awful) I was once asked by our Director to read out a word. "Probably" I said, confused. "I didn't think it was you anyway," he said from his lofty height, "You read poetry."

I didn't find out what this arbitrary test was about until later. A very urgent and important message had been left scribbled on a piece of paper on his desk, rather than being reported to his secretary or going through the usual channels. It included the word "probelly".

I don't remember who was responsible (odd, as it was narrowed down to my team of six). I just remember the thrill of being recognised as an intrellectral.
