It maybe due to the fact that us North Easterners are the closest geographically to England. Who knows?

There is also different accents for Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. These accents are different than the rest of the south.

Interesting...they classified me as having a Midlands accent, i.e. no accent, but allowed that I might be from Florida or one of those large southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas.

I've lived in Atlanta for 25 years.
I went to junior high school, high school and university in Florida.
I was born in Mobile, Ala (Gulf Coast natives have accents quite different from the rest of the South).

And I thought the Midlands were in the UK, for Chrissakes.

Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent.

Well, I am a SoCal surfer and I know I don't have any accent.

Most folks from the PNW have a "flat" accent, if that's how you can describe it.

Years ago, I was in aan elevator in a Hotel in Newark,NJ.After I spoke a few words, this bloke says to me "don't tell me,but I'm sure I can guess your accent" now I thought, this guy must be good,because yanks normally get confussed with a kiwi accent.Some say Aussie and others say pommie.So then he says "mid-west right?" I had great delight in telling him he was at least 5000 miles out.
