| What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North
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.” |

Of course I don’t think any such thing — standard schmandard, that’s what I say — but this quiz sure did peg me. I am from exactly those two places (among others) and I did say “pop” until I moved to New York, where nobody knows that that means.
I couldn’t help observing, though, that it’s very likely that if I were African-American, Mexican-American, Asian-American or anything else besides the whitest of white bread, this would be completely useless to me. I wonder about that.
