Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I can't believe that dumb test thinks I talk like I'm from Jersey.
Yep, that's definitely not correct.

My results are really interesting, because it sees me as someone who speaks with a mixture of Delaware Valley and Kentucky accents... which reflects two of the three places I've lived.  THANK GAWD it doesn't see me as having a New England accent. :bleeding:

Work computer won't let me check it out. What does it measure?

It just asks some of those questions on how you pronounce things (Mary, merry, marry) and word choices (like drinking fountain v. water fountain v. bubbler, etc.).

I believe there was yellow in my New England because I use rotary instead of traffic circle because of where I was when I learned to drive. -_-

There's a couple on HHI yesterday looking for a place to live in the south of Spain. They were scoping out three bedroom 1000+ square ft places for less than $500 a month.

Ummm please take my money?
