Hmm.. funny, I'm from the South (albeit not the "deep south") and according to this quiz, my accent is "Northeast". I guess I shouldn't be surprised though: when I was a kid, my parents used to tell me things like "You talk funny, you sound like you're from up North" and "you talk too fast" and what-not. Not sure exactly how I wound up with a "northeast" accent.

Then again, most people I meet, who aren't from the South, say they think I have no noticeable accent at all, and guess that I'm from somewhere in the Midwest. Good grief.

Language is a funny old thing...

what do you mean, "bag" doesn't rhyme with "vague"?

Wait, where does "bag" rhyme with "vague"?
