Yes, I read the results page, including the statement that "midland" is supposed to be a neutral accent. But I've never heard of any midland accent in which the words "can" and "can't" are pronounced clearly differently (I pronounce "can" rhyming with "man," and "can't" rhyming with "ain't").And I have never, ever in my life come across anyone who pronounces the word "unless" to sound exactly like "lesson." Yes, in normal speech, that is how I pronounce it myself.So that's a "midland" accent, eh?
Not accurate for western states such as Washington where I've lived my entire life..Say's I'm straight up "Neutral".."You're not Northern, Southern, or Western, you're just plain -American-."
dude ive been from philadelphia all my life (northeastern US) and i took the quiz answering honestly and it says i have a southern accent..this quiz is retarded
