What's your American accent?

Anyway, what's a charleston? (never heard of it)

It's a hill-billy, redneck, white trash accent. Almost similar to what George Bush sounds like except more accentuated.

I remember a Scottish friend of mine talking about his "bag" while I was understanding it as "bike". So maybe in Scotland? : )

Your Result: The Inland North

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

This test is making no sense. No, no one's ever asked me either of those. In fact, I have yet to hear anyone speak with the stereotypical "Chicago accent", and for "When you say 'about', does the 'ou' sound like the 'ou' in 'loud'", I said yes. People from Wisconsin pronounce the ou sound as oo, or oa. About would come out sounding like a-boot. Boat comes out b-oh-t. And it IS pop, you freaking hillbillies.
