Too Funny
I was out perusing the blogosphere and I came across this little quiz at Dorothy's. Knowing that I had to procrastinate the making of dinner for at least another 10 minutes, I figured I'd play along.
I had a little giggle at the results...being Canadian and all....although, I can say I think I'm somewhat offended at being lumped in with those Minnesota folk. That part isn't funny.

And *ARE* you mistaken for a Canadian a lot? LOL!
In another of my procrastinating moments (I should be getting ready for work), I took this test. Apparently geographical closeness has little to do with individual accents. I understand I sound like Boston LOL!
Hehe! That was funny! I'm so sorry you get mistaken for Canadian!
I'm totally northeast, but I disagree with the results. Having grown up in the city, I was always told I didn't have a NY accent because I don't pronounce things like "York" as "Yawk." In fact, there are different accents based on which of the five boroughs you live in!
Can you tell I studied linguistics in college? ;o)
Peace and Laughter!
I got the Midland...is that a good thing?
