Do you want to give this a try? https://www.bleacherbreaker.com/incredible/based-on-your-american-accent-and-lingo-can-we-guess-where-youre

The result for me was that I am definitely a northerner.  Oh dear!

    Well, that was long and boring. They got the region right (sort of) but they say that I don't pronounce my Rs or Ts, NOT true. There were at least 10 or 12 questions that did not have an appropriate answer listed for me. Poorly done.

    You can't use apostrophes in web addresses.  I copy/pasted the web address.  I didn't type it. 

    You don't have to type...just use copy/paste if interested.

    Not a surprise at all.  For me, 'north' was a surprise.

    My result is mostly correct.  I’m from the Midwest but I don’t call a water fountain a bubbler.

    On what planet is a water fountain called a bubbler?

    My result is that I'm from the south. That is true. I'm from AR.

    It looks like we need a space by our usernames to list our pronouns now.

    They say I am from or live in the south.  Lived in the south for 10 or so years, must have picked up some of that honey dew drippin vernacular.
