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*

I got the same result. Maybe people in New York have a German accent.

LOL well, they couldn't have given you London or something as result now, could they? ^___^ Funnily enough, I got the NYC too :)

Oh, but hey, going through those questions, I remembered Jared's accent. For instance in Hollywood Babylon he definitely said He was just feeling in for the day instead of filling in. It's kinda cute.

The one and only British way?

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 think everyone outside Northern America is getting NYC. Odd that.

I got NYC too!!!

I'm actually english, and not only english but from yorkshire/north east area. I've been told by aerican friends that I have a strong accent but they have never said that I sound like I'm from New York.

None of my german friends sound like they're from NYC either. Wierd.

It got me right.

It seems like everyone from the UK is getting NY. I suppose it has to pick the easternmost choice it has for people on the east side of the Atlantic ;) I can't say that the New Yorkers sound very British, and that lovely German English accent is not much like either.

I wouldn't put too much weight into this. It told me I have a Southern accent... which... no... HEH
