My Cover Is Blown!

Check out this American Accent Quiz (as recommended by Lady Brett). I prefer to think that I speak clearly, distinctly, and without an accent. Perhaps that's the definition of "Philadelphian."

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia

Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

Is this post title a spoof of a Belle and Sebastian song?--shit, kicking myself for having thought that...

Alas, no...I actually don't know much Belle & Sebastian...though this may provide a further excuse for me to check 'em out more...

Wow. You're even more Philadelphian than I am - which can be explained by the fact that I moved there rather than spent my entire life there.

Mmmm. Cheesesteak.

I have had some people recommend their music, but from the few songs I have, I could not really get into it. To each their own I guess. If you ever check them out, let my know what you think.
