Midland??
According the the quiz (click on the title) I have a midland accent. The first time I took it I had a Boston accent. That didn't seem right to me so I took it again and changed one answer and voila, it's midland. What's yours?

Here's a paragraph I note on Ed Kemmick's "City Lights" Blog yesterday.

I’m not surprised that my accent is labelled as “Midland” even though I grew up in western West Virginia and complete college there but that was in Speech and Drama. Since then I’ve lived in Pennsylvania, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Jersey (or is that “Joisey?) and Montana the last 45 years. I can do a pretty good nasel twang when it is appropriate. I’m really curious why so many of our female TV announcers are “nasel” and high pitched.
I saw Kemmick's blog. I thought that was you.
I bet you can't guess what mine is... Y'all
