Accent
Tej and I have the same accent. Not too surprising given we’re both (more or less) from the highlighted part of the map.
| What American accent do you have? (Best version so far) Neutral You’re not Northern, Southern, or Western, you’re just plain -American-. Your national identity is more important than your local identity, because you don’t really have a local identity. You might be from the region in that map, which is defined by this kind of accent, but you could easily not be. Or maybe you just moved around a lot growing up.

Well it says I have a Western accent, so there. I think this is why I got raked over the coals for my voice-over work on the Great Channel One Spelling Bee. A bunch of kids took issue with how I pronounce “vague.” One of the best comments? “I’ll learn how to spell when that lady learns how to speak.”

It is a useless quiz. It thinks I have a neutral accent as well, completely failing to pick up the subtle differences between Canadians and that other country that thinks they speak English. ;-)
