I'm waiting to go on a writing date. Had five minutes to spare.

I used to do a lot of these when I was a young mother, and I don't really anymore. But language is interesting, so I did this one.

The result amuses me. When I run into someone who really knows American accents (frequently someone who has worked for the military and recognizing American accents was part of their job), they can hear a definite accent. And if they are familiar with the unusual accent that originates in small town in Southern Idaho, they know exactly where I came from.

What American accent do you have?

Neutral. Not Northern, Southern, or Western, just American. Your national American identity is more important to you than your local identity, because you don't really have a local identity to begin with.

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?
