This has been going the rounds for the last few days, and is an updated version of a previous quiz which aimed at pinpointing people's home area from the way they pronounced certain words, or used vernacular terms for particular things.For some reason, it was shared from the New York Times website.
I was born in Rotherham, and so I had a childhood using words like snicket, spell and wagging it.
It was successful in identifying Sheffield as the likely area.
I have since lived in Norfolk for more than half my life, but not lost some aspects of my accent and natural vernacular vocabulary. The quiz was less successful pinpointing my son, with a vague diagnosis of the SE of England.
How accurately does it locate you?
