Accent? Who, me??!

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia

Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

 

I recently found a website that has weird quizzes, some fun, some stupid, and then there was this one. This one at least was correct, as I've lived 60+ years in and around Philly. Just the other day, I was riding with a woman from church who said she so much enjoyed talking with me, 'cause I sounded like home. She had grown up in the Norristown-King of Prussia area. Since reading Sylvia's note about feeling at home when she heard the MN talk, I wonder where she would fall on this quiz

Doncha know that I came up with the pure midwest accent where you ask for pop instead of soda.  glad to know that 16 years in "Fluffia" haven't beaten it out of me yet!!!!!   Maybe it helped that I took the quiz right after our thanksgiving trip.

i got the Philly one...although i was surprised the quiz didn't ask about "wooder" (a.k.a. water.) so where are pics of your visit w/sus? or wasn't it that memorable?? just causing trouble, of course.

She's too busy going to the hospital and not telling anyone.

A little testy there, are we, richdugg? At least I did call a friend at church from the ER - that's some sort of step in the right direction, I think. How about, I didn't want to worry you? --until I found out if it were something to worry about?  Love ya.

Elizabeth, Thank you so much for sending me a happy birthday!  I just checked in to make sure I had responded, and sure enough, true to form, I had not. So forgive the delay.  I very much enjoy reading your blogs, and am eagerly waiting for an update on this semester's classes.
