Tomato, Tomahto

Growing up as a military brat with parents from the Midwest, I often wondered what accent I ended up with. (Mom, I tried to resist, but I just had to end that sentence with a preposition). This very quick quiz told me what I'd always suspected: I have a midland accent.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Midland
 

"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.
