| What American accent do you have? Your Result: Philadelphia Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard. | |

Yeah, Philly, more so than basically any other American city, has an accent in which these similar-sounding (to some) pairs of words are pronounced differently.
By the way, for anyone who does this meme, the HTML is broken. The first <tr> and <td> need closing tags before the second ones start. Thank yew.

I think there should be a distinction, though, between Philadelphia proper, and South Philly (to be pronounced "Salth Philly") and Northeast Philly (to be pronounced "Noortheast Philly"). I mean, come on. It's not like I say "wooder" or anything.
yes I did learn to talk in St. Louis!!!
"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.
