Snagged from [livejournal.com profile] aztiluna13, because I'm killing time before class starts and don't have enough of my Gally report done yet to post.

It's not even vaguely close to where I actually live, but apparently shows the result of a Philadelphia spending way, way too much time with people from the UK!

What American accent do you have?

Southern. Love it or hate it, your accent says you're probably from somewhere south of the Ohio River.

If you're not from the South, you probably were overanalyzing the questions. Take the quiz again but don't think so hard next time.

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 think the meme is broken.

I'm from northern Delaware, and I got the same result as you did - southern accent. Not even close. Though similarly to your case, I imprinted on Brit accents as a child. I wonder if the meme authors just don't recognize northeastern accents that aren't hardcore Boston or Philly or Bawlmer or NYC.
