Can this place guess where you live based on your speech?

I've lived in the ND/MN region my whole life but it put my in Seattle, Tacoma, and Reno. This aside, some people I know had it guess theirs right down to the exact city.

I also tried making one as absurd as possible and it put me in St. Louis.

it gave me 3 places all in mass

all 3 were in order of how close they were to me. boston ma, worcester ma, and springfield ma

pretty funny how spot on it was

for mass all u had to do was ask "do you use the word "wicked"? lol

It gave me one suburb less than 7 miles away. Chicago area is pretty distinctive language wise.

    I think gym shoe is more generational, and supper/dinner is more social class than geography.
