Apparently, I'm from New York.

I hardly ever do memes because I don't care much what kind of animal or elf or ice-skating troll I'd be, but I couldn't resist this one. Possibly because it has to do with Phonetics, and English which I study at university.

I answered all questions with how I'd pronounce the words the British way (that is, British rather than American. My hearing is not refined enough to actually pull a certain British accent off.) and I got this result:

What American accent do you have?

New York City. You are most definitely from New York City. Not New Jersey, not Connecticut. If you are from Jersey then you can probably get into New York City in 10 minutes or less.

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?

Different Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Same

So, do you people from New York talk like Brits or what? *hides from tomatoes and other vegetables*

Hehe, I got Midland, which is like a default, no access thing. DAMMIT. I really want an accent! XD


This may be a random question, but to you, does Jared or Jensen have the more apparent accent? They're both from Texas, right? Well, I seriously don't hear Jared's accent at all. Uh, well, maybe I did once when he said, "Because Dad's not here, Dean." But seriously, that's it. So, do you hear a thicker accent from Jared or Jensen?

I know what you mean, I have the least remarkable English accent ever.

Jensen's the one that says deee-monic, which is just, y'know, weird. So I could him as the one with the thicker accent.

Thank you! A lot of people say Jared has a pretty thick accent, but it's nonexistent in my book!

Jensen's the one that says deee-monic, which is just, y'know, weird.

Hah, okay, I never noticed that :-) And if I had, I probably wouldn't have realised it's non standard

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

I only notice it because there's quite a large difference between what I would say "dimonic" and the way he says "dee-monic" and I noticed that Jared says "dimonic" like normal people.

Then there are the usual American things like pai-tree-ot, rather than pat-ree-ot. And I'm finding myself saying REsearch rather than reSEARCH all the time, I'm turning American! *cies*

REsearch is American??? *panics and makes mental note* (Yes, I AM anal about not using American pronunciation but hey, I'm studying BRITISH Studies, not American :-) )

Very good question. Actually, I never noticed an definite Texas accent from neither. But then I'm no native speaker, and my knowledge on US accents is even worse than my knowledge on British accents :-) Someone once pointed out Jared has more of a "twang" when he talks which is true I think, but as to the rest? NO idea. I think I'd only notice their accent if they talked like Bush. I live in blissful ignorance :-p

[margarita-queen.livejournal.com]

Ha, Jared has more of a twang? I've never noticed Jared with a twang actually. NEVER. Well, once. But it's Jensen aaaaaaaall the way for me. XD Like, every time he says "brother". Haha. He says "brotha". XD I always found that odd, me not hearing Jared's accent but notcing Jensen's, because they're both from Texas and all. XD

[legoline.livejournal.com]

See, that "brotha" thing slips me by every time. I just don't hear it. Probably why I sucked so much in our phonetics class :-P
