I'm shocked, I tell you...shocked...

...well, no, not really.

What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Northern. Whether you have the world famous Inland North accent of the Great Lakes area, or the radio-friendly sound of upstate NY and western New England, your accent is what used to set the standard for American English pronunciation (not much anymore now that the Inland North sounds like it does).

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?




I'm almost impressed.

Tee-hee. I like the "radio accent" quote. Too bad I never really got to hear you on the radio in Ithaca! ;)

Actually, if you listened to ICB at all between 94-95, you probably did.

Nope, hated ICB... Sorry! :) You never played enough 80's music!

Ah, well. Wasn't everyone's cup of tea/bottle of beer. I DID do the 80's show from the Chapter House in '95, but...

:-)

Memories...damn I miss being in radio!

I taped the 80's show one year, but I guess it wasn't '95... There was a really annoying chick covering the Chapter House, but the music is good... Yeah, memories of good old Ithaca... Did you ever go to 80's night at the Haunt? What fun!

Ok, enough of that - now get to bed!

I didn't know you were in radio, that is so neat!!

I got the same result.

Which should not surprise either of us. :-)
