What American accent do you have?

Canada. You probably get irritated when British people and Europeans think you're from the States, but over here we wouldn't make a mistake like that.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!
We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

For some reason it put me into New York. Not Connecticut or New Jersey; New York. I sound like a New Yorker, except for the Australian accent.

I tried that quiz (the results are over in [livejournal.com profile] nduli's LJ) and it put me in the south. I've never been told I have a southern accent.

I just retook the quiz and got "Inland North, which would be about right for me. I think I only answered about two questions differently from yesterday.
