Surprised more people than Texans call EVERY soft drink a coke.

You sound a bit like my mom. Her dad was in the navy so they moved all over the place. After living in VA for a while they moved to New Jersey where she got teased at school for her ‘southern accent.’
What American accent do you have? 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. |

Carbonated drinks are called soda. I know very few people who call it pop - maybe a few old timers.
I can’t even make myself say it lie that since there are 2 syllables in it.;) RUE END and said as strongly as the caps imply.
Oh, it’s not that hard. You can say “burnt,” can’t you? Just merge the word “rural” with the word “burnt” and there you go. Rurnt.

“So, I will take my knows the difference... but sound like a hick accent over a East Coast Degree not worth the match it would take to burn it.”
Well said, Bend. Wisdom is where you find it, and I’ve heard precious little come from the Ivy Leagues.
