That sounds about the way I would describe my own accent.

From those I have listened to from the midwest, though,
I am not sure I would place them in a separate category
from general American.

All these tests end up pointing at me as having a far more southern dialect than most. I guess my ma raised me right, after all.

CSM, our scores are almost exactly the same. I grew up in NYC. Did you grow up in New Hampshire?
