Here's the actual quiz: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html?_r=1&
It didn't get the right city, but it definitely got the right state. I'm surprised.
-
*but only if you're from the USA I got Providence, Minneapolis and New York, but I'm from Australia
-
New Jersey? Pretty close to Christchurch, New Zealand.
-
1 ReplyIt got me. I know the pop (soda) question is geared for western New York.
-
1 ReplyNew York, apparently. That's a pretty long way from Whakatane, New Zealand.
-
I'm from Southern Illinois and I got Louisville, KY and Montgomery, AL.
-
Edited by Yvonne: 12/27/2013 1:03:52 AMIt almost got the city (it said Columbus in the top three) but apparently I talk like I'm from Lincoln, Nebraska.
-
It guessed my city right.
-
Considering I've lived in Kansas Colorado Germany Florida and Maryland, I think I confused it lol .
-
New York, Atlanta & Jackson courtesy of Lancashire, England
-
The heat maps indicates my location pretty spot on, but it chose three cities that were not even in the state that I'm in.
-
I remember my results. It said that I speak most similarly to people in Fort Wayne, Grand Rapids, and Spokane, WA. I speak least similar to people in Jackson, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans. (I'm glad I don't speak like them, I want to avoid any similarities with them as much as possible)
-
I live in Atlanta but I talk like I'm from the Midwest or Florida :o

These quizzes can always pinpoint my location by one question [quote]What do you call a drive-through liquor store? × brew thru [/quote] Brew Thrus are in the VA/NC area so if you pick that you it's just going to throw you in VA

>Canadian enters thread >knows test won't get it right >does it for shits and giggles.

It put me in San Jose, Glendale and Long Beach. I live in Los Angeles
-
The quiz put me in Alabama, not Arkansas, but that was pretty cool.
-
Mostly right.
-
nailed it, just south of Minneapolis/St Paul.
-
1 ReplySo if I was an American, I would be from the North east?
-
Two of the cities were close(ish) Springfield and Worcester MA, but Arlington VA wasn't close. The dark red shaded areas on my map (New Hampshire) are spot on though.
-
Took the test again and it said that I lived in LA, Glendale, or San Jose. And I live in San Jose. Well played...
-
With Every Word Capitalised.
-
As a child, I grew up in Ohio, Arizona, North Carolina and Kentucky. The test gave me Kansas.
-
1 ReplyThe part that gave away that I grew up in Florida was the fact that I call rain in the sun 'sunshowers'.
