21 Apr 2007 What American Accent Do You Have?
 |  Category: Meme

I found this Meme/quiz over at my friend Aunt Barb.

It’s dead on. I live in Southern New Jersey.

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

Mid-Atlantic. This is what everyone calls a Philadelphia accent although it’s also the accent of south Jersey, Baltimore, and Wilmington. Well, everyone that lives near there, that is. Outsiders can tell you talk differently from them even though they can’t tell what your accent is.

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 didn’t know you were a Jersey girl! That’s where my family is from, but I was born in Florida. I spent many a summer visiting relatives in Toms River and North Jersey!

    Colleen: Yep.. I’m a Jersey (not Joisey) girl. LOL I was born and raised just outside of Atlantic City. You didn’t know that by the title of my blog Army Mom:New Jersey? :razz:

    I did this, but I can’t make mine fit into a post. I am going to post it still, without all the stuff that they had in the HTML, but I am going to link back here for them to take the quiz.

    Shelli: I had the same problem, just change the width in the coding. They have 500 I made mine 350.

    This is awesome. It is amazing how it can tell where you are from. I always wanted to go into lingustics for a major just so I could do this. :lol:

    Kari: That’s a great field to get into. Go for it :)
