You don't have a Bahstahn accent. Also, your user pic is really cute!

Apparently only the Kennedys are more Boston than I am!

And thanks, can you tell just How Much Fun I was having?? ;-)

I came out as "The Northeast (probably Philadelphia)". Huh.

I come out as "The Northeast, possibly Connecticut, Rhode Island or New York". Which is kind of hilarious, as I'm Scottish. I just couldn't resist seeing what it made of me.

I liked the quiz's insistence that EVERYBODY has an accent of some kind - something I've been gently telling people (mostly English and American) for years.

That is pretty hilarious. And yes, I've always known I had an accent -- but oddly enough it's changed over time. When I was in college I sounded a lot more neutral, midwest, or Californian-ish. I guess I've become more regional over time (even though I was born and raised here in Boston).
