This was pretty funny. It says that I'm North Central and have a Minnesota accent. I'm from Oregon and now live in Northern California.

Western, which makes sense, since I grew up in California (California City of all places) and now live in Colorado, (though not Colorado City)

Northeastern, which is perfectly accurate (I grew up in Connecticut).

Neutral. How odd. The only states I've ever lived in are California and Nevada.

Apparently I come from North-Eastern USA. As I was born in Sydney, Australia this is very peculiar! I don't think too many NE USA residents would be fooled for a moment - sounds like East coast Aussie to me.
I have endless arguments with other Adelaide residents who say "dahnse" for "dance", "plahnt" for "plant". |

It really isn't international I think, it isn't calculating Australian accents.

It didn't get me, either: It claimed I have a southern accent, when in fact I have an East Coast "corridor" accent developed from so many years watching neutral network TV.
