Fun Thing The Accent Quiz

Since many of us are podcasting and recording our voices, I thought this would be of interest.  Child_Lit has been discussing and laughing about accents and pronunciation, so I thought I'd share the "quiz" and  the analysis of my voice. Although I grew up in New England, I spent 11 years in the Tennessee and Virginia, and 18 in Texas. Many people can't identify the origination of my accent, and they'll often  say Chicago.  I don't call soda "pop", but I have to really concentrate to enunciate a middle T, like in "cotton" or "mitten", and that is a Boston trait. I only lived there 3 years.
