what american accent do you have?
Monday, November 27th, 2006For shits and giggles I took this quiz and was surprised at the results. Maybe I’ve shed some of my southern accent? What American accent do you have?
| What American accent do you have?
My 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. |

As a college football fan, I’m always saddened when players do stupid things…and while it does sadden me to read this quote, it did give me a good laugh, especially since it is a UVa player! Sorry Amanda!
