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?

    This is what we call a bubbler fountain in my neck of the woods.

    North, but that's inaccurate.

    They put me in the north and I'm from Alabama originally.

    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.

    North - which is true although there are some questions that didn't have the answers I would have preferred.
