This was lame. For most similar I got Chicago, Rockford, and Aurora, what a surprise. I was born in Chicago so obviously I'm going to have a Northern Illinois dialect. As for my least similar? Pittsburgh, Akron, and Cleveland all because I don't have a word for the strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street. I'm pretty sure my Texan hill country roommate and I have much different accents than I would with someone from Ohio…

One thing this quiz confirmed though is that we are basically the only people in the country that call athletic shoes "gym shoes".
