It's a exercise page, I suppose that it was a website as Tomisimo. I'm sorry.

I got none

It would have been a little helpful for all the phrases to be the same. I usually can distinguish drawls from TX, South South :-) and NY.

Most of you did better than I did - I only got two right. And I always try to listen to Americans' accents. Living in the DC area I hear lots and lots of them!

Interesting. I only got a couple of them right. There are some problems with the quiz. The voice samples are pretty short and poor quality. Also, for example, one of the New English samples said to pay attention to the "a" in "cans", but that is exactly how I pronounce it, and I'm from the West Coast. The two samples from the "Midlands" slated as "general American" sound exactly as if they were from Oregon, Washington, or California. In short, the quiz would benefit from longer, higher quality samples.

But it's still an interesting exercise.

I feel so much better now.

I can blame it on the samples now...
