North American accents quiz, stolen from bluestocking79

Well, this is the second time I've taken this quiz, and I come out a Northeasterner - which is exactly right. I'm from Connecticut.

What American accent do you have?

Northeastern.
You're probably from somewhere near New York City, possibly north Jersey, or Connecticut or Rhode Island. If you are from New York City you may be one of the types who people never believe when you say you're from New York.

If you are not from here, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A Philadelphian who can't stand the way other Philadelphians say "on";
(b) A Yat from New Orleans; or
(c) Someone from England, Australia, or New Zealand, in which case why are you doing this quiz in the first place?

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Same Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different... Different

Does a Conneticut accent mean you'll sound a bit Katherine Hepburn?

I'm Canadian, apparently. Do Canadians generally sound Scottish?

Katherine Hepburn! Wow! Well, I love her, but think she sounds like no one on earth, actually. (To be more accurate, the accent is not that dissimilar, but I'd say her vowels are broader than mine.)

And Canadians are famous for saying "aboot" rather than "abowt", and have a bit of that "uh" sound in their vowels, so I guess they come closer to a Scottish accent than other North Americans.
