Accent  

I took the accent quiz the Cat mentioned a few days ago - Philidelphia? I've never been there, but I don't sound anything like the TV Philly types. People from New Orleans don't sound like their depiction on TV either, or much like other Southerners. We need our own category too!

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia
 

Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

My dad came up Philadelphia, too. It must be the closest to New Orleans of the accents they anticipate in the quiz.

But yes, NOLA needs its own accent. Actually, it needs 2 or 3 of them.

Why thank you. That's from our most recent trip to Germany - I'm planning on making some others from our photo library, and maybe writing some code to rotate them randomly.
Because I don't spend enough time programming...
