Depending on how you pronounce words such as "lawyer" and "highway" can pinpoint where your way of talking comes from. It guessed Huntsville/Birmingham/Chattanooga for me which is wrong, but considering I lived most of my life in Eastern NC and most recently 8 years in Houston that kind of falls halfway so that sounds about right. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html?_r=0 Let me know how accurate it is!
I learned my English in middle school in the United States in Houston. I would say it's 85% accurate in their location: http://nyti.ms/1pF51ux
Spoiler It was pretty accurate and had me in Texas. Houston was not one of the top three cities though.
Apparently I'm from the SF Bay Area and Honululu, even though I've lived in Houston my entire life. Lol
got irving, arlington and jackson, MS... not bad for a west texan born and raised, whose parents were from mississippi. I did find the "feeder" map interesting. Only the Houston area gave like answers.
apparently Houston area is the only place in USA that says "feeder" road.... I thought that was the norm lol
Irving, Amarillo, Rockford. The correct answer would of course be Houston. Apparently no one else in the south says kitty-corner.
Have aunts (like "fonts") there, but they're all West Indian; and I grew up east of 45, did two years of high school in New England, went to U of H and lived in the "heartland" for nine years. Power of television, I guess.
Paterson, Yonkers, New York City. Despite saying y'all, I'm from Northern New Jersey and was born in Paterson.
Now that I think about it, I've visited or lived in all of those places before too. Super Accurate, at least for me.
I knew this would be a dead giveaway. When you say it in front of people from other areas they always have a confused look on their face, then they figure out what you mean mid conversation.
