Take this funny quiz

[Jim]

It was spot on for me saying I'm in the Boston area. :lol:

Accurate for you?

That was a Hoot! According to this quiz, I should not be living here, but somewhere in the Birmingham , Al. area.
Having been exposed to several dialects from Maine to Florida over the years, I can see the mix it produces in the individual.
Thanks Jim, I'm happily in Florida! Jerry

 

[Captain Ahab]

**** - that thing is good - got me right where I am / been / bean - potato bugged!

 

[JMichael]

Not extremely accurate. I'm about an hour west of Memphis and it picked Jackson MS, Birmingham, and Chattanooga.

 

[Colbyt]

If they aren't IP sniffing (hate to spoil the fun) then it was spot on.

I was convinced it would be wrong since the individual ansers were all over the map.

 

[lovedr79]

I took it a few days ago on FB, got me dead on to the area I am living in!

 

[Vader809]

Put me right where i am Ohio.

 

[FishingCop]

Got me 8 miles from home

 

[SumDumGuy]

Told me I was from the Phoenix, AZ area. However, I am currently in Utah and grew up in Idaho.

 

[gillhunter]

Even though I have lived in Georgia for several years it placed me in northern Indiana where I spent most of my first 55 years.

Now that is funny. I'm from the Dade City Fl. area and it says I'm from Birmingham also.

 

[bcbouy]

not even in the same country :LOL2: but still close

 

[redbug]

it nailed me I grew up in philly !!!!!

 

[alumacrafty]

Missed by about 500 miles but still in the midwest . . . close enough!

 

[DuraCraft]

Well, I knew I always walked to the drum beat I hear in me old haid - the thang had me plumb out of America. I reckon that means I should just live in my tin boat on the water! If it was a bit bigger, I could hack that.

 

[dieselfixer]

It put me right on the money. About 1/2 way between Buffalo and Rochester NY, on the shore on Lake Ontario.

 

[BassGeek54]

Had me in the south which is where I grew up but haven't lived in a long time...maybe I should go back there...sure would be nice.

 

[RStewart]

Pretty much spot on for me. It Picked OKC & I'm in a suburb of it.

 

[kfa4303]

I took it the other day and it nailed it to the city, which is by no means a major metropolitan area! LOL. Pretty accurate, of you ask me. I loved seeing all the various ways people can/do pronounce the same words by region and dialect.

 

[chrispy186]

I just took it and it had both cities for me, since I lived in another state for a while I have both dialects mixed in.
