What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia

I just want to say, Zippy types with an accent. Stoopid machine.

A good question for that quiz would be:

"Does your pronunciation of the word 'on' rhyme with 'Ron', or 'zone'?

I've been told I speak with an accent. I'm sure they weren't talking about my "American accent."

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

I often pronounce machine as mash-in-A.
It must have amused me once, but I used to curse our mainframe system quite roundly when I worked for a large mobile phone company. Before I left it was common parlance in my department when someone was frustrated with their computer.

Stupid mashina.
