My first college roommate was from Norwood. He was a crackhead.
I wish I was kidding.

What American Accent Do You Have?
I couldn't get the code to work for some reason.
Being born in So Cal I used to speak like yer' typical surfer dude. But now that I'm older I speak with a drawl. People are surprised when I tell em' where I was born. In fact one gentleman said he figured I was from Virginia. A few examples of my dialect:What American accent do you have?
The West
Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
Oil = Ole
I = Ah
Figure = Figger
Help = Hep
My =Mah
And so on.
Speaking as another cheesesteak-speaking American, my sincerest sympathies, Paulie.
Tell me, when you say quarter, does it rhyme with water?

This is, apparently, based on my father's Philly accent, a Cheltonham affliction.

I say wuh-ter. When I say quarter it sounds like cort-er.

Yeah?
Just as I suspected, there's more than one Philly accent, too.
Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

Boston proper has at least five distinctly different accents, folks.
If you're from Boston, you can hear all of them.
Yes siree
If you're from anywhere else, you can hear the difference in at least one of them...the uppercrust Beacon hill accent.
Imagine Chauncy Howell from Guilligan's Island...that's the one.
People from other areas (other classes, actually) of Boston don't sound anything like that.

someone from Esta Bost sounds much different than a Beacon Hill upper cruster.
