Midland

("Midland" is not necessarily the same thing as "Midwest") The default, lowest-common-denominator American accent that newscasters try to imitate. Since it's a neutral accent, just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from the Midland.

midland. if you follow the yellow band off to the left, it will cut across the southern half of nebraska. bingo!

side note: a lot of call centers are based in the "midland" area, since our accents are almost completely neutral and thus understandable by anyone

What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)

My Results:

Midland

("Midland" is not necessarily the same thing as "Midwest") The default, lowest-common-denominator American accent that newscasters try to imitate. Since it's a neutral accent, just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from the Midland.

Darcler has nothing of the sort!

Wait, which accent, northern or southern? If you say southern, it's because I was drunk!

I took the test twice but my accent must be really off the charts because it wouldn't show me the results either time.

If I recall, we've only spoken on the phone twice. though you might be right, most people from the north say I definitely have one.
