You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary"
but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying
questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances
are you call carbonated drinks "pop."
Lol, buffo!

 Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."
Idem per me. 

Your Result: The Midland
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't
have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania,
southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but
then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of
those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice
for TV and radio.

My Result: Who has been eating garlic in here?

The Philadelphia cheese steak sandwich was invented by an
Italian-American named Pat Olivieri around 1930. His family still runs
the business he started. The sandwich is nationally known.

The area around Philadelphia has a very recognizeable accent. This
accent is often called the "Philadelphia-Camden" accent, because the
city of Camden, New Jersey, is separated from Philadelphia only by the
Delaware River, so the two cities have much in common.
The most prominent feature of the accent is the "Philadelphia 'L',
which to many people sounds like a speech defect.
This article is about cheesesteak Philly speech.

OMG! I don't talk like that!!! hahaha I admit I have an Italian accent,
but not like that! I'm trying my best to get rid of it, but around here
everybody is used to my way of talking, actually our accent, and nobody
corrects us, they don't even pay attention to it anymore. Oh Gosh, I
need help! Debbie

The Philadelphia accent is rarely heard in films, and unless the
actors are natives of Philadelphia, you won't hear the accent, because
the Philadelphia accent is inimitable (and some say unpleasant).
Actors from Philadelphia usually work hard to lose their accents.
The film "Invincible" is also set in Philadelphia, and it contains not
a trace of a Philadelphia accent. The Philadelphia accents are
replaced with New York accents. Imagine a film set in Naples where
everyone speaks with a Veneto accent - how realistic would that be?
Kevin Bacon is from Philadelphia, but in films he always uses his
"generic" American accent - with one exception: in the film
"Sleepers", he used his native Philadelphia accent, and he says he
hopes it didn't offend anyone.

It is interesting to note that Kevin Bacon is married to the
successful actress Kyra Sedgwick, who, although born and raised in New
York City, plays a District Attorney with a big Southern accent in her
current TV series, "The Closer". A successful actor who has worked to
lose his Philadelphia accent married to a woman whose successful TV
series depends on her learning a Southern accent! I wonder what
language they speak at home?

Your Result: The West
 
Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless
you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you
may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or
one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
