Atlanta's got a big mix of people so the 'southern drawl' isn't quite as pronounced at all there, even amongst those who have it. Columbus, I don't know as I've never been there. Richmond is... kinda middling, really. There's traits from both the Southeast, and New England, then you have the people from around DC having an effect, which is kind of like Atlanta. Lots of different accents mixing.
I do have an accent, that much is true, but it's kind of an odd one from watching a LOT of British TV in my formative years, as well as having influences from other parts of the US (From TV and radio).
Let's just say that I've been asked quite a few times where I was born only to tell them "Dalton, GA". Then the inevitable "Really?" Ah well. I've been mistaken to have been from England, Ireland, Canada, California, ... pretty much everywhere I'm not from that speaks English, lol.
Also, you have drive-through liquor stores?
Yeah, but they're not hugely popular (at least where I'm at). I didn't know some folks had a special name for them, though.
I have never seen a drive-through liquor store in my life, but its special name should be, "The shittiest idea ever thought."
Where'd I get the Jersey accent from? Like Newark, really? I also got Glendale and Long Beach which makes total sense since I live in the Greater Los Angeles Area.
I think the test is flawed for a couple of reasons:
1. It doesn't let you select multiple responses on the same question. For instance, I use "roly poly" and "potato bug" interchangeably, as well as "highway" and "freeway," etc. This forces me to pick one and can skew the results in a certain direction.
2. It suggests answers to the test-takers rather than soliciting answers themselves. I know this is sort of inevitable when you're using this "quiz" format, but I think it might influence the test-takers' answers somewhat. Like in the bug question, my first thought when reading it was "roly poly," but when I read "potato bug" I remembered that I use the same word to refer to the same creature as well.
The thing is, I don't think it's supposed to guess where you're from or your accent, it's just showing you what parts your speech have in common with the rest of the country. I don't think a dialect quiz CAN be completely flawless because as I've said above, people get influenced from lots of things.
Meh, I thought it was fun to play with.
EDIT: As far as the multiple terms that one uses for the same thing, I just put down the one I used most.
