What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia
Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.
Result Breakdown:
100% Philadelphia
85% The Northeast
80% The Midland
73% The South
70% The Inland North
38% Boston
18% The West
2% North Central

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."

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.
