My accent is deceptive

So, being the sheep that I am (Baa!), I decided to copy gehayi and take this quiz. I'd taken it once before, but this time the results were surprising. Check out the test results, specifically what it says about New Jersey.

What American accent do you have?

Western. Like Midland, Western is another accent that people consider neutral. So, you might not actually be from the Western half of the country, but you definitely sound like it.

And if you're not from the West, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A Pittsburgher - the quiz can't tell the difference;
(b) Someone from Canada (probably southern Ontario) who doesn't have a Canadian accent;
(c) Someone from northern New England who doesn't have a New England accent; or
(d) Someone from Texas or the Heartland who was born after 1980.
You are definitely not from New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Detroit, the Deep South, etc.</font>

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Same Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Different

"Definitely not from New Jersey," it says in D. Huh. I was born in New Jersey and have lived here for virtually my entire life.

C might hold the answer. It says that I could be, "Someone from northern New England who doesn't have a New England accent." My parents are from Vermont, I've spent a lot of time there, and at various points in my life I've been told that I have a "Vermont accent." Of course, when I'm in Vermont, I've been told that I have a New Jersey accent, so go figure.

I wonder what sort of accent the other sheep think I have? Baa!
