not really all that close tbh Well goddamn if they didn't have me pinned. Gift link if you want to do yours. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
i was born in tallahassee but grew up in the west palm suburbs. my accent is schizophrenic
They guess me based on Potatobug and they get close on Kitty Corner
Apparently saying kitty corner is a very Tacoma thing.
i re-took it and with slightly different questions it got much closer but no idea where irving and the red in Missouri are coming from
Sounds like you and I grew up in similar places. I think it's probably right. At least for the FL locations.
Florida is probably really messed up because it’s got so many people who aren’t from Florida
i always say my accent is 33% northern, 33% southern, 33% midwestern with the 1% remainder probably some weird yiddish and cuban tossed in
FL is messed up because the further south you go the more "northern" it becomes.
the red places on the heat map don’t necessarily indicate that you sound distinctly from-there, it could also indicate that the two regions have similar accents to each other (for migration reasons, sometimes just coincidence reasons)
it’ll be a cold day in hell before i recognize the state of missouruh
One thing that wasn’t present was the fact that I called classes that are high school level in college, bonehead classes.
There are some articles which use the word bonehead classes in the 70s. But I’ve never seen it outside of those articles and from my dad’s mouth lol and myself
also kitty corner is pretty widespread ime? but i guess maybe very tacoma if your other answers suggest pnw
Yeah, because it lit up the entire northwest but then it was like yeah Tacoma
It lit up all the way down to Utah.
