Five and half years ago I posted about my accent, revealing that I no longer had one. From PHILly, but lived in MinneSOHta and MichigAN for 12 years wrecked my accent quite a bit. Nonetheless, I was still holding it down with the Philadelphian in me a little bit according to that test.
Just did the same exact test this afternoon to find that I still don't have much of a distinct accent, but…
…THE SOUTH HAS OVERTAKEN ME! And all my Lousiana, Jacksonville, Georgia, Tennesee, Texas friends said…Amen. This is what moving to Virginia has done to, for, to me. I just go around picking up little pieces of other people's accents all the time…Hot mess.
