Where do you talk?

Took this test and it came out unbelievably right. Said I was talking like from Salt Lake, Stockton or Modesto

Probably. I have been told I don't have a Utah accent even though I was born and bred here.

I am from Idaho, but must have been away too long.
It could be your definition of something too, like road that runs by a highway or a circle. Two out of three where the same so it must be just a word or two different.

Kansas City, Rockford and Fort Wayne.
I lived 10 of my first 12 years in Kansas City so pretty good. I've lived in Scottsdale, Joplin, Saint Louis, Chicago and Boston prior to my last 16 years in Salt Lake.
I was interested in the results because we had someone in my office that nailed exactly where everybody was from except me after an half hour interactive course. 3 people were from Utah and he pretty much nailed the city or suburb and the other was from the DC area and he nailed the suburb as well. He didn't even take a guess with me.
I matched up fairly well with much of the intermountain west including SLC and northern half of California as well.

We're from Wilsonville, NB and we had breakfast, dinner, then supper. "Lunch" was an alien word way back then.
