Accents - April 20 This was a day to stay home and work. Then an evening to watch television and websurf. During that, I found the quiz that I've included below. These questions about accents gave me an interesting result, one which would explain why I sometimes sound like some friends who are from places north of here. But in reality, I sound more Southern than the thing would have you believe. Have fun with it! Mid-Atlantic. This is what everyone calls a Philadelphia accent although it's also the accent of south Jersey, Baltimore, and Wilmington. Well, everyone that lives near there, that is. Outsiders can tell you talk differently from them even though they can't tell what your accent is. |
