I never think of myself as having an accent. Or I figure I lost any accent I had from growing up. Apparently I really do still have somewhat of an accent since this quiz totally nailed where I am from. Spooky.
I had the same thought. And the same results.
And it's consistent: I took the same test (same questions, different graphics) and was pegged for Greater Philadelphia area, just a few months ago.
Funny thing is, I haven't lived in South Jersey for about 20 years. And even when I lived there, I made a point of not sounding like my neighbors with the obvious local accents. Ah, well ...
