Heard about this on the radio last evening. I can see where this could be abused... Suppose someone had a grudge against someone else, and started posting bad info on their license plate like "bad driver" or whatnot.
Still, if you're curious if someone is posting junk about you, good to know about this site.
Actually the owner of this fine truck is me. If you find yourself behind this truck in the fast lane going exactly the speed limit (or a few MPH below), that's for your benefit. You are probably driving to fast in my opinion. I am trying to box you in. You can go F yourself if you don't like it. I go the speed limit on one lane roads, and speed up when it expands to 2 lanes so you can't pass me. Or vice versa. either way, I get a great satisfaction in knowing that you're stewing in your car. Maybe you'll go home and beat your wife or something. I don't care. I hope you do. I hate her too.
Boy they really let this guy have it in the responses.
You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.
"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

The results are interesting. Kind of all over the board after the main one. But what's interesting to me is that Terry and I have them all in exactly the same order, with the Minnesota (North Central) accent last.
the news covered accents on its extra last week- I loved it!
I actually talked with a guy, within the last year, that asked me if I was from Canada - funny stuff!
