Memes!

Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] hermioneorourke:
What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Canada. You probably get irritated when British people and Europeans think you're from the States, but over here we wouldn't make a mistake like that.

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 was prepared to be amused when I found out which *American* accent I had, but apparently I was caught out. :P

Yay, I got Canadian too! That was fun. I like how "Canadian" is apparently an American accent now...

Hah, I totally got the Midland accent, apparently. They got the 'non-regional' thing right, though.

(Midland. The Midland (please don't confuse with "Midwest") itself is the neutral zone between the North and South. But just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from there. Since it is considered a neutral, default, "non-regional" accent you could easily be from someplace without its own accent, like Florida, or a big city in the South like Dallas, Houston, or Atlanta.)
