This is more interesting if you're not American though tbh, but could be interesting for Americans who grew up somewhere but moved someplace else and it shows you more affiliated to that region, idk.

It was 100% accurate for me, pretty good test. It was interesting just because these types of things aren't ever very accurate.
Mine was understandably all over the fucking place. We've got our own slang for a lot of shit here.
I'm all over the place here. Story of my life. Though I've never really lived in my top 3, and I spent a lot of my vocabulary forming years in one of my least. [t]http://i.imgur.com/ehvCKNi.png[/t]
Pretty accurate, got Winston-Salem and Greensboro, NC (spent my formative years in Charlotte). Also got Montgomery, Alabama for some reason.
All three cities I got are in Kentucky, which is probably more true than I want it to be.
The places I got weren't close at all to where I am from.

[QUOTE=The Aussie;50032545]Mine was understandably all over the fucking place.

Fun fact, in New Zealand, "Crayfish" refers to rock lobsters, while "crawfish" is something foreigners mispronounce because no such animal exists. Made me real confused the first time an American mentioned a crayfish and pointed to a tiny shrimp-looking thing :v:.
Neat. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/yZvO2oJ.png[/IMG]
Mine was pretty spot on (near Baltimore). Funny how many different ways of talking there are just in the US.

Mine was exactly spot on (in Boston) but it also thought I was from San Jose and Glendale
I'd do just fine in Vegas and California apparently.
Anaheim and Minneapolis were my two cities, despite not being American or even having gone to America. A lot of questions I had no answer to, though. For instance, highways are called motorways here, but motorway wasn't an option.
Miami apparently, huh.
A lot of my answers just gave flat blue maps lol [T]https://i.gyazo.com/907f2bfe4df4becd599e474211967efe.png[/T]
I got Los Angeles, San Jose, and Honolulu

Los Angeles, apparently.
Spot on. Boston suburbanite.
[IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Yh3iJr4.png[/IMG] My answers were all over the place, apparently. I like how Alaska is a perfectly uniform red. Also, was born in the dakotas, and moved to Texas.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/JbLC70D.png[/img] Used to live in Texas, so I guess that's cool.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/A5jYEgB.jpg[/img] Would've been 100% if only it had put the cities on the red spot directly south. Pretty neat.
I really don't know what to think of this :v: [t]https://u.pomf.is/fqvenm.png[/t]
[IMG]http://puu.sh/nZp78/29bd7f55ab.jpg[/IMG] well shit me in the dick
[Img]https://u.pomf.is/netzxd.jpg[/img] I do feel a little northern when I listen to the way I say things.
[img]http://puu.sh/nZpcg.jpg[/img] I'm a Norwegian New Yorker. Almost same result as OP, and we're both Norwegian. Hmmmm.
I did it and it gave me an error so uh... no habla ingles
