The second Simon opens his mouth everyone knows where he`s from. People can`t always figure my accent out. They just know its strange. (As I type this, our good friend Delfo is standing behind me laughing and doing impersonations of me asking for a bag-which does rhyme with vague by the way.)
We found this quiz, courtesy of my friend (thanks amy) and after taking it, this was my result.

Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop." | |

I was just as "inland north" as you Crystal. And yes Delfo, bag does rhyme with vague. And lastly, to all you New Englanders - there is no "r" in "idea."
I'm also inland north! I get so much crap for my accent here, but I would rather sound like me than have a Boston accent. YUCK!
they call me "Kevar" here half the time! Ha!
Yay, we have the same accent! It's funny because so many people at UWEC are from Minneapolis, and they definitely talk weird.
