It was spot on for me saying I'm in the Boston area. :lol:

Accurate for you?
 
That was a Hoot! According to this quiz, I should not be living here, but somewhere in the Birmingham , Al. area.
Having been exposed to several dialects from Maine to Florida over the years, I can see the mix it produces in the individual.
Thanks Jim, I'm happily in Florida! Jerry :D
 
If they aren't IP sniffing (hate to spoil the fun) then it was spot on.

I was convinced it would be wrong since the individual ansers were all over the map.
 
Even though I have lived in Georgia for several years it placed me in northern Indiana where I spent most of my first 55 years.

Now that is funny. I'm from the Dade City Fl. area and it says I'm from Birmingham also.
 
I took it the other day and it nailed it to the city, which is by no means a major metropolitan area! LOL. Pretty accurate, of you ask me. I loved seeing all the various ways people can/do pronounce the same words by region and dialect.
 
I just took it and it had both cities for me, since I lived in another state for a while I have both dialects mixed in.
