This is extremely funny to me. My husband and I are convinced we speak standard English without an accent. But folks can often pin us to the Midwest, sometimes even to Wisconsin. My husband insists this is because standard English is what's spoken in southern Wisconsin. Still, we probably speak some "Wisconsinisms" that reveal our heritage. My favorite is bubbler, which sadly hasn't slipped out of my mouth in years. Now I tend to favor the more widely accepted water fountain.

I was also "Inland North". I think the creators of the questionnaire are from the West, California specifically. I think this because a friend of mine took it and it said that he doesn't have an accent and is most likely from the West. HAH! Busted!
