What American accent do you have? Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

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.
