Another American accent meme...

...thanks to [livejournal.com profile] keith_london. This one actually accords with what people tell me I sound like. The other one told me where I came from. Go figure.

What American accent do you have?

Midland. The Midland (please don't confuse with "Midwest") itself is the neutral zone between the North and South. But just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from there. Since it is considered a neutral, default, "non-regional" accent you could easily be from someplace without its own accent, like Florida, or a big city in the South like Dallas, Houston, or Atlanta.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!
We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Live wires

Thanks to ronslog, we now have a better picture of how high-tension lines are inspected and repaired. I was petrified just watching it.
