Accents

Of course there are a million little "what is your accent" things on the internet, which are always fun. Languages and accents and word choices have always fascinated me (guess it's good since I like to travel!) This one was funny though, in a couple different ways. Apparently I have a "Midland" 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.

Interesting, since I am from PA, but haven't quite fully embraced my Pennsylvania-ness. I had to crack up though at "you have a good voice for TV and radio"! maybe if this whole grad school thing doesn't work out....
