Canadian Linguists Go Ha! Ha!

Well, since about four of my LJ friends have posted this meme on theirs, and I was bored with actually gathering the data that, somewhere along the line, another one of those quizzes will be based on, I decided to check as to, "If Tourmaline was born in Moscow Russia, has her mother's accent of Nizhegorodsky Russian, lived in Haifa, learned in Ottawa, studied Quebecois and Paris French, Castilian Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Hebrew, Yiddish, Japanese, Ukrainian and IPA, what part of the U.S is she supposed to be from?"

The same part all of her required reading is from, apparently. I HAVE been told that I sounded a little weird, in places where people do not know that Philly has an accent, and the people didn't have a clue what accent it was that they heard, but...I always blamed it on the mishmash noted above, I never knew it was because, unbeknownst to me I actually come from Philadelphia!

William Labov, brace yourself, because one of those days I should actually check it out, this place I come from.

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.
