Silent nation

This quiz (taken from the Crunchy Conservative link to your right), is supposed to reveal your true American accent.

My results said that I'm a native of the midland which is another way of saying "I don't have an accent." This is supposed to be good for TV and radio.

But the first page also tells me: "the only way to not have an accent is to not speak."

Uh oh.

All of middle America is mute!

(muted?)

What's your US accent?

Not surprisingly, I was in the "Inland North" category.

I still call Coke, Mountain Dew, etc., "pop." That's a dead giveaway.

Eva was an "Inland North" as well. I'll try it later...

I was an "Inland North" of course. It didn't say if I passed the quiz or not:) CKC

Well, I'm from the "west"...which is odd that you, EC, and myself, would find ourselves with different accents.

Especially when it seemed like I was the one who watched more Cubs games on WGN than you did.

Crazy world, crazy times.
