I am watching the parade of nations in the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. I have the globe at hand, looking up the countries as they come in. That must mean I am a visual person. I sometimes have to rely on the little globe on the bottom of the screen, or I listen to the commentators explain where the country is if it is an obscure one. But now I know where Vanuatu is; likewise, I know that Mauritania and Mauritius are not near each other. Who says Americans don't know their geography? Now maybe I'll go to the great state of Chicago--it's capital is Illinois--I know this because the sign on I-44 says "Downdown Illinois."

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The West Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta. | |
