I forget what I scored the last time I took this test. But I know my dialect is Hudson Valley. You've probably heard it on TV; to me, Rod Serling has no accent.

I got "Midland," too--but they did mention that "Midland" could include Florida. It's good in a way to know I don't have an accent, though. I always thought I sounded Southern, but then I never hear myself talk. Or maybe I just have a tin ear and answered the questions wrong.

Northeast, of course. Sometimes, they pin me right down to NYC.

And, of course it's soda. And sprinkles and a hero.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Wrong with me? C'mon. They're all coke.

So my ear is only slightly tinny. My little graphs did skew Southern.

Heh, I have NO idea what they're called in Florida - I got that from Indiana, growing up here in my formative speaking years.
