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?





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

and that lovely German English accent is not much like either.


"lovely"? :-p By the way, did you ever receive my email with the "All Shall Fade" chords?

Well, there is more than one German-speaking-English accent, or maybe it's just more or less of the same one, I'm not sure. In any case, the milder version is charmingly exotic while still perfectly easy to understand. Granted the thicker version is harder to understand.

And yes, I got the e-mail. Thanks! The "I wish I could love and admire you" part isn't really that hard to say. At least it doesn't contain any really tricky hard-to-say words like "frei" :p You Germans and your weird sounds!
