Carpe Diem linked to an accent quiz, allowing you to test where you sound like you are from.
| What American accent do you have? (Best version so far) Midland ("Midland" is not necessarily the same thing as "Midwest") The default, lowest-common-denominator American accent that newscasters try to imitate. Since it's a neutral accent, just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from the Midland.  |

So this is what I got taking the accent quiz. It seems quite accurate, but I notice that it doesn't seem to allow "alternate accents," like Black or Baltimore.

Hmm. I come out as Midland as well. Given my motley heritage of residences, I suppose it makes sense that I'd have the bland/default sound.
