I wasn't sure what this quiz would show, as my accent is certainly a blend of many. I lived in NYC suburbs of NJ till I was eight, then Cleveland till twelve, and Pennsylvania ever since. But my parents were'nt from NJ, so I'm sure their accents affected mine. They lived in Missouri for eight years before I was born. Mom was from Africa (with parents from California/New Mexico and New Jersey) and Dad was from Erie, PA. I guess the Erie, PA and Cleveland won out in this quiz! As far as carbonated drinks go, they were "soda" till I was eight, then "pop" till I was about 20, and they've been "soda" ever since.

Thanks to Where's the Box for reminding me that I had taken this quiz in March and it was still sitting in blogger as a draft post!
