What American accent do you have?

Neutral. Not Northern, Southern, or Western, just American. Your national American identity is more important to you than your local identity, because you don't really have a local identity to begin with. Chances are, you live in a town where the majority of people are middle-class white people who vote Republican and have American flags attached to their houses. (Before you start strangling me, I didn't say -you- were like that, but that most people in your town are)

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?






Hmm, how boring. Actually, that totally does sound like Amador County (funny, since I only lived there for six years and haven't lived there in seven). So it's either that or those "Acting Without an Accent" tapes/lessons while I was in theatre affected me more than I realized.

So, indistinguishable as my accent is, I find it amusing that the minute I said "hella" in a mass chat everyone was like, "NorCal!"

Oh and Kiwis (since most of you are), go for it and let's see where it places you. Heh.
