Well, do you? Can you even tell from which part of the States a person is from just by their accent? I can tell if you are a Canadian from Quebec or Newfoundland, but I wouldn't be able to tell you if you were from BC or Manitoba. The same with American accents. Sure, if you are from Boston, New York, Louisiana, and have a heavy accent, I'll peg you right off, but mid western? Forget it! This PBS site offers up a pretty tough test to see if you can tell from what part of the USA the speaker is from. It's a challenge, one I failed miserably at, but it was fun. See how you fair.
