Absolutely good point, Dana.
I have an ear for these things, I think. I'm like Henry Higgins. I can 'hear' the slightest differences in the way things 'sound' when I'm reading them...and I think this contributes to my spelling ability too. |

My friend in Louisiana (born, bred, still there smack dab in the middle of cajun country) got a Philly accent response. I think it's very accurate: never noticed any sort of south in their accent.
Same friend said they could hear Wisconsin in my voice. I didn't know that, but I guess it's sort of true.

For both Dani and I, bath rhymes with path and has the same vowel sound as laugh and graph. But she could also include faff in that list. Whereas I would include par.

I do not have a good voice for TV and radio. When I speak, it's a mix of southwest, Philly, and I don't know what.
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. Result Breakdown: 90% The Midland 80% Philadelphia 70% The Northeast 70% The Inland North 69% The South 38% Boston 33% The West 15% North Central |

Some of my Brit friends would crack me up when they said "Pass the Pasta"
I would say "Pass the paahsta", they'd reverse the intonation of the a and say "Paahss the pasta"

The 'Mary, merry, marry' question did not give me the choice I wanted: Mary & marry sound exactly the same to me, merry sounds different, which wasn't an option.
Kinda/sorta accurate.
