I’m from W. Pa. I got “West” on the test. Nobody I ever met in the rest of Pa ever thought I sounded like them. Hubby from CT got “inland north”. We’ve lived in upstate NY for forty years, and people think we sound funny. The kids have a funny Syracuse accent, where job is jab and feel is fill. Everyone thinks they have no accent.

Since I just spend 4 hours battling a bad virus just to get online, I'm not going off site to take the test, lol. I was born and lived in Pennsylvania till I was about 8yrs, so I was always called a Yankee down in Texas.

But - when I visited relatives up north I was kidded about a Texas accent! So, I'm half and half, lol.
