West for me.
Mine was right on the button - the Inland North. I was born and raised around the Great Lakes and that´s exactly what it said. And Smitty, having met you in person, I can say that you definitely have a Canadian accent. Mine is now somewhere between a Michigan and Ontarian accent, although I can sound very Canadian when I want to. When I first moved to Canada after getting married I got a job and my workmates teased me unmercifully about my accent so I finally threw in the towel and learned how to take on the Canadian vowel pronunciations. I no longer say \"dahler\" instead of \"dollar\", for instance, but I´ll never get the hang of \"aboot\" instead of \"about\"!
North Central.... :)
I am from the midalnd....which i guess is Canada eh
but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like \"Are you from Wisconsin?\" ... Chances are you call carbonated drinks \"pop\".
They sure got that right!

But the big question they missed is do you call it a \"water fountain\" or a \"bubbler\"?

Condor :8-))
