Midland

("Midland" is not necessarily the same thing as "Midwest") The default, lowest-common-denominator American accent that newscasters try to imitate. Since it's a neutral accent, just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from the Midland.

That's the kind of accent I have IRL!

I was waiting for someone else to list a Western accent like me!

It guessed it right:

Canadian

People from outside North America probably think you're from the States, but over here we wouldn't make such a mistake.

"Neutral" ("You're not Northern, Southern, or Western, you're just plain -American-. "... no I'm not, I'm Canadian)

I have a Texas-Californian-Maine mixture of an accent. One person said it sounded like I was from Indiana.

Northern.

Not surprising, as I'm from Wisconsin. lol
I admit I have a Milwaukee accent, but it's not nearly so bad as the northern-WI/Minn. accent...
