According to this quiz on American pronunciations, I’m either from Pembroke Pines or from Fort Lauderdale. These are two towns in Florida that are located closely to each other but that I have never visited.
Of course, it was unfair to the quiz to test it on an immigrant.
I took this quiz and it said I talk like a New Yorker or a New Jersey person, which I am 😀

My results are Baltimore, Washington DC, or Honolulu. I’ve been to all three places once apiece, but I don’t live anywhere near them.

I would have never guessed people speak in the same way in Baltimore, Washington DC, and Honolulu. 🙂 🙂

New York and New Jersey here. Oddly, it seems the way people speak in Florida is quite similar to the way people speak in the NY area. I wouldn’t have expected this.

New York and New Jersey, and very red in upstate NY. Surprisingly, it makes sense.

UScentric. Why not including Canada in this map? When I moved to CT and NY state pronunciation and words did not seem different. I moved to Southern Ontario a couple of months ago and words and pronunciation seem completely different here.

It put me as being from Yonkers, New York, where I’ve never even visited.
If you were to ask me about my accent, I’d say it’s a mixture of Yiddish-English from my father, and someone who grew up in Hawaii trying their best to not slip back into Pidgin. 🙂

Wow, it got me ten minutes from where I’m from. I’m easy though, I grew up saying ‘pop’ but I’ve learned over the years to say ‘soda’ to avoid ridicule

Apparently I talk like someone from Baltimore. It’s probably also unfair to allow a British guy to take the test. 😛
