Midland usually means midwest.
Hi Juuuuuuuuuuuuulia.

Just like Amanda said.
I figured Barberton would be a shitpit, but that's probably my bias against small towns in that general are of the country. It was the home of a big time solidarity union movement in the 1930s, didja know?

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

You definitely have a Boston accent, even if you think you don't. Of course, that doesn't mean you are from the Boston area, you may also be from New Hampshire or Maine.
did that work, i'm gonna guess no right away.

Lots of words with the same vowel/consonant pairings are pronounced different. It's the rich pageant of the English language, my man. I mean, it's cool. I'm still your friend even though you're totally wrong about this.

Btw, I like that quiz because I felt super-confident about all the answers.

I think it's more that they make you think about how you would say things, rather than just say them, though.

"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.
I also felt very confident about my answers, reprazent.

I want to have a good voice for TV and radio. :(

whoore.
and jenny, i guess it's because my accent is only at about 20% of it's strength from what it was 7 years ago that i forget i may still have one. when i saw my younger sister at a family event last month she told me she couldn't stand to listen to my accent (i think i was pronouncing my r's).

I don't know how I say horrid. As I sit here in the computer lab whispering "harrid... whore-id" to myself, they both sound right to me.
I got South second to midland if I said that "pin" and "pen" sound similar. The fact that I could go either way there is, I believe, entirely attributable to Jeff. Anecdotally, a WV cousin of mine thought my name was "Ginny" until we ten or eleven because he'd never seen my name written out and "Ginny" and "Jenny" sound the same coming from people with southern accents.
