I have the best kind - one of an Englishman scared to lose his hakwan job because after 6 years in Korea is virtually unemployable back home!

Funny, I am Canadian but I decided to take the test just for kicks.
My result?
"Which American accent do you have?
Canadian
People from outside North America probably think you`re from the States, but over here we wouldn't make such a mistake. "

Every time I hear someone talk in a southern accent, I immediately think they're stupid. So no, I don't want a southern accent.
I got northern, or as I like to say, normal, educated, correct American English. |

a prejudice perpetuated by all the Billly Joe Jim Bobs, crackers, GOP politicans, the most famous of which being Georgie W.

I got "Neutral", which is what I've heard for people that live in Oregon, a very plain and wide-spoken accent, probably the most spoken English accent overall.
It makes sense, with the whole Oregon Trail thing, having the Midwest accent. |
I've lived my whole life before Korea in the Pacific NW, including four years in Portland, and I also got "neutral", or as I call it, "west coast" accent. |
Except it's not even primarily a West Coast accent, as it's shared by much of the Midwest and Northeast. |
