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

Midland

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.

midland..makes sense..i grew up here

Harrison · Post by **Harrison** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 12:06 am

Darcler definitely has a slight accent. Not strong, but it's there...

Darcler · Post by **Darcler** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 12:12 am

Darcler has nothing of the sort!

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

Harrison · Post by **Harrison** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 12:16 am

Southern

Darcler · Post by **Darcler** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 1:29 am

I was drunk! Until I peed. Then I wasnt much anymore.

araby · Post by **araby** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 7:12 am

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

Harrison · Post by **Harrison** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 9:45 am

I don't remember much of an accent from you...

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.
