    No, you haven't, but whatever makes you happy.

    The Inland North. Not a huge surprise.
    I grew up in Columbus, Ohio but enough of my family and friends are from Chicago and further north, plus I went to college in northwest Ohio, that somewhere along the way I picked it up. I'd rather sound like a Midwesterner than a New Englander ... :D

    Boston, which is funny because every New Englander I've met says I sound like I'm from North Carolina or someplace like that.
    And I've never even visited North Carolina.

    I agree. When I got drunk-dialed from Vegas I thought the strangest thing about the conversations were hearing how people talked. Sportschick and Cadet's voices really surprised me.
    Buckweaver's was pretty much what I figured it would sound like.

    Cadet's voice didn't surprise me, since I know where she's from. And I've talked to SC before, so it didn't surprise me, either. Never did talk to buckdub or Darling Joe.

    Well, Cadet always comes off as so serious and that wasn't how she was on the phone at all. I didn't talk to Darling Joe either, though I did talk to OTD. That was bullshit. He barely drank any beer in Phoenix because his family was with him, but he was flying solo in Vegas and apparently was drinking there.
    Though, props to OTD for buying me a beer in Phoenix. That was solid.

    My schooling don't got nothing to do with no accent.

    Modest Texas accent over here, with very subtle Midwestern influence since my dad was from Chicago. I don't sound all that Texan unless I've been drinking...then my vowels get lazy and my intonation a little more melodic.

    You are being kind by including all of Pennsylvania. Hell, I wouldn't include anything west of Philly.

    And this quiz didn't even come close on mine. Maybe I didn't answer the questions correctly.
