Funnily enough, I also pretty actively suppress my Cleveland accent, though it comes out when I'm tired, drunk, or mad.

I've never lived in any of these cities. A problem I had with the test was that for a lot of the questions I use more than one of the choices. For one of them they were so interchangeable for me that I just chose "other."<br /><br />I lived in Stark County, Ohio for 18 years, then most of the next 32 years in Franklin County, Ohio, and then the last five in Stark County again. Stints in California, Colorado, Tennessee, Maryland, and Minnesota.<br /><br />My mother was from New York City. My father was from Wayne County, Pennsylvania.<br /><br />Montgomery??? Where the hell did they get that???Khrysso Heart LeFeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03267204219331713843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682036990627515116.post-74052809535596504322014-10-12T17:05:47.193-04:002014-10-12T17:05:47.193-04:00Actually, Ohio has a larger Amish population than ...Actually, Ohio has a larger Amish population than Pennsylvania does.Khrysso Heart LeFeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03267204219331713843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682036990627515116.post-32538504736507364612014-10-11T13:19:22.361-04:002014-10-11T13:19:22.361-04:00I got Ft.

I tend to pick up pronunciation quirks from people around me though, and I talk differently now than I did growing up. Also, my family watches entirely too much British television, so that muddles the works too.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07394043771423413494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682036990627515116.post-74250547724422604722014-10-11T08:13:43.489-04:002014-10-11T08:13:43.489-04:00Dear Brigid, the survey indicated that my speech p...Dear Brigid, the survey indicated that my speech patterns revealed that I'd lived in the Twin Cities, Jackson, and Tallahassee. I did live in the Twin Cities for thirty-eight years but I've never been to Jackson or Tallahassee. Actually, I've only been to two southern states--South Carolina for three days back in 1971 and Florida to visit a friend for a week.
