For some reason I got both Easter New England and Midland.  I don't know what I say oddly for around here, because everyone says my accent is pure Maine.  :)

What American accent do you have?

Eastern New England. Whether or not you pronounce r's, you have the sound of Boston, New Hampshire, and Maine about you.

Western. Like Midland, Western is another accent that people consider neutral. So, you might not actually be from the Western half of the country, but you definitely sound like it.

Midland. The Midland (please don't confuse with "Midwest") itself is the neutral zone between the North and South. But just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from there. Since it is considered a neutral, default, "non-regional" accent you could easily be from someplace without its own accent, like Florida, or a big city in the South like Dallas, Houston, or Atlanta.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Same Different

When I got up this morning it was light enough in the kitchen that I didn't turn the light on - I think the sun was not up, yet.  It's progressively gotten darker without me noticing because I was looking at the computer and now I want the light on.  I should probably go get my car (two blocks away because of street cleaning last night) before the rain comes lashing down. 

*walk walk walk drive drive*  OK, car now home.  Tea?  Mm, tea. 

*typetty-type*  Hey, I got half my Ivan/Byerly story typed up!  This is the damned thing that kept me up all night, thinking.  And I think it's not great, but neither is it totally horrible, and at least I'm getting it out of my system.  Sent that half off to my betas (thank god for volunteers).  Now must get ready for work. 

I'm a sekrit midnight writer.  A closet writer, Eor says.  Though it was actually a water closet I wrote it in.

I knew it! You're only pretending to be a Brit so you can watch Doctor Who.
