It seems spot-on. Born in Buffalo. Lived in upstate for a few years. 17 years in Florida had no apparent impact on my accent, but many will say that the Florida coasts are not part of The South.

What American accent do you have?

Northern. Whether you have the world famous Inland North accent of the Great Lakes area, or the radio-friendly sound of upstate NY and western New England, your accent is what used to set the standard for American English pronunciation (not much anymore now that the Inland North sounds like it does).

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Same Different

Re: Florida and the south.

Naw, I hear ya. I'm from the gulf coast myself, and when people hear that I spent 12 years in Tennessee, they get all surprised that I don't have much of a southern accent. Well. Yeah. I'm from Tampa.

Yeah, I went to college in Tampa (USF). I don't believe I heard a true southern accent the entire time I was there. Even the kids who were born in the area sounded like me.

I picked up "y'all", but everyone says that. Some use it incorrectly, but there y'all go...
