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."

What American accent do you have?

I actually get a lot of "Are you from the Midwest?" and "When did you move to Kentucky?"
I also mess up Linguistics experiments, because I'm from central KY (which is more Southern than anything) and yet I don't talk like someone from around here. "Cot" and "caught"? I can hear (and pronounce) the difference between them. I was in a spelling bee once and the judge asked me to spell "hornet," except I had to ask for it in a sentence because she pronounced it "harnit."
However, it's not a soda, or a pop. It's a coke. It may not be made by the Coca Cola Company, but it's a coke.
