See where this quiz thinks you're from (based on linguistics)

I got exactly the same, from Essex, http://nyti.ms/KiZo4E.

I did another test like this a while ago and it had the same result, it makes sense considering the British colonies were all up the east coast and populated by the English. The further you go west, the further you go into a mish mash of dialects and accents crafted from all kinds of europeans mixing with the British.

To be honest lizard man said it best

the second you put roundabout, shit knows you from the uk

so probably puts us all in that corner

[CrazyCracka420]

I call em roundabouts as well, apparently I'm the only cultured swine in the USA (pretty sure the whole country was blue on that answer).

*EDIT* Actually retook the quiz and most of the country calls them that

For me it's always some west coast city like Los Angeles, Glendale, Long Beach, or Honolulu.

da fek? 

[Franke]

Made the test twice (to have some different questions). The one location that popped up twice was Santa Clarita, CA.

Doesn't make much sense if you're not a native speaker of course, but it's really funny and some of the words are really interesting (a drive-through liquor store? I still can't believe it)

[Christo]

Yeah the drive-through liqour store was a big O_O from me as well.

[Franke]

Yeah the drive-through liqour store was a big O_O from me as well.

Indeed. On the other hand, selling alcohol at gas stations (and I'm not talking of beer) is not that much of a difference...

I live in central Maine so that's pretty accurate.

[AntiBlitz]

Well I am from germany. guess I haven't met enough people from central US.

I seem to be from either Baltimor, Washington DC or Richmond. Not bad. 

get out of my state!

mine was accurate to a degree, however my county in particular is rather rural, and has quite alot of similarities with the south.  Where as if you were to drive east or west, you would drive in to counties which are much closer to cities, and they end up having such talk.  My county is also very republican in a rather democratic state, though like i said that has more to do with the counties culture.  Its why my county was given the nickname Ceciltucky, rather then its original name of Cecil. 

So in turn, i could see the inaccuracy coming through lol, but it was close enough, kind of funny though, considering most of those words were interchangeable, like lightning bug/firefly.  Also, really, nobody calls it sunshowers? or summershowers?  just us i guess lol.

I live in Shitville, Washington, so it's not too far off, I guess.

[Herkkutatti666]

New York, Yonkers or Jersey city

Really from Finland

[LordBerenger]

Buffalo, Milwaukee or Aurora

[Rumblood]

Fairly close, from Northwest Florida and spent 20 years in Texas, so a guess of Alabama/Mississippi isn't too far off I reckon.
