That truck question was difficult, I use about half of those words regularly to refer to them, that really should have been a checkbox question.

Nigmaetcetera posted:It seems to think now that I'm from San Jose, San Francisco, or Hialeah, Florida. This thing is retarded, i'm a goddamned hoosier It seems really bad at placing people from Indiana. I've taken it several times since it came out, and I started going with what my dad or grandma would say, trying to get it to place me at least near Indiana. It sticks me all over the place. Taking it just now landed me squarely in Omaha/Lincoln/Wichita. I've never even been as far south as Lincoln, nevermind to Wichita. I'm starting to think they got lazy and skipped Indiana, or found such a mishmash of answers they weren't able to use any of them reliably. People in Indiana have several names for everything. Some of these really should be checkbox lists, instead of one answer.

I just don't get how it thinks I could be from Hialeah, 92% of the people in Hialeah are native Spanish speakers. I can barely order at an authentic mexican place without an interpreter.

uruguayan accent in spanish los angeles accent in english never heard me having an accent in english but apparently people from southern california sound "lazy" i always thought english accents sounded lazy but still pretty cool. and those scottish accents and some parts of england are loving incomprehensible at times. i seriously have no idea what they're saying sometimes. i guess mixed with gaelic or something maybe? no idea.

If context has established I'm talking about that kind of truck, I just use "truck." No context (which is what I assume the question implies) I usually use "semi."

To be fair, even half the locals don't know what they're saying most of the time... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqIcbLkY2iY ...but that won't stop them telling anyone else "Yow cor spake proppa" when they complain about the gibberish they were just subjected to.

See that at least makes sense. In my defense my dad is a spic that came here on a boat and my step dad is from texas, my mom is multilingual so my accents and colloquial influence are all hosed up. I think I am just one of those that can fake most accents from this country (and Argentina) on demand

According to the quiz I'm Newark/Paterson,Yonkers, and Jersey City. I grew up around these areas, although I find it funny that all of these cities are now majority black/Hispanic and I'm as white as the driven snow.Sergeant Slippyfist posted:It's universally considered the least intelligent sounding British accent. To be fair, even half the locals don't know what they're saying most of the time... My husband is from the Black Country. He left when he was young and now speaks with a more standard British accent, but his parents are nearly incomprehensible to me. The first time I heard him Skype with them I could have sworn he was speaking a different language.
