My mom, who was born and raised in Missouri, says "warsh" instead of wash, "windah" instead of window. She is slowly changing it, but even after 20+ years here, she still sounds Missourian

No... In Milwaukee Wisconsin (where I am at) we all call it soda... Not pop!
Wow, I'm impressed. It put me down as Boston. When I was taking the quiz, I really didn't notice questions that would indicate that. Didn't say anything about pahkin the cahh.

What American accent do you have?
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."
The Midland
The Northeast
Philadelphia
The South
The West
Boston
North Central
Umm, I've lived in Alabama for 30 years!
I did go to preschool and kindergarten in Ohio, though...
And sodas are all Cokes, right? Even if it's 7 Up...

No here (Wisconsin) Coke is only Coke... We do not call all Sodas Coke here otherwise that is what you will get a Coca Cola!

Apparently my accent is Inland North but Northeast and Midland weren't too far behind.
By the way I also say pop. The parts of the country who don't say pop are flat out wrong.

I am Inland North!
Your Result: The Midland
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.
O...k lol
