Well, if you're from Western Pennsylvania you might think that the following words sound the same: pool and pull, steel and still, and you may think that house, out, found, and downtown have the same vowel sound.
If you're from Southeastern Pennsylvania, you might think caught and cot sound different, mad and sad may not rhyme, and some other stuff I don't feel like cribbing from Wikipedia at the moment.
Of course, if you're a Mennonite, then all bets are off. And then there's Northeastern Pennsylvania...

I noticed! Well, kind of. My ear for English accents isn't that great unless the differences are really extreme.
they are bloody freeeeezing
i don't have a recording device but apparently it's like a put a y in there
i maintain that americans throw an h in there though
they sound like they're saying 'bog'
That kinda annoyed me, I should've said something
Now I'm in California everyone pronounces it my way 8-)
bayg?
like egg?
how
i say egg like ehgg. surprise!
because they're exactly the same except bayg starts with b
Where are you from? Even if your accent isn't obvious, there are some subtle dialectal variations everyone has.
my friend Jim is the same way with a Boston accent
and he hates it, so when it happens he gets pissed, then flustered, and it only gets worse
hilarious
I like to deny it, just to make whoever I'm talking to doubt themselves

Have you lived most of your life in California?
That's pretty much the neutral-sounding American accent these days.

so i sound 'normal' but i toss in words like y'all every once in while without thought

Dangit, I know all the tricks on this quiz.
I don't even remember how I naturally pronounce "pen" and "pin" anymore.
I think I'll have to record myself just to figure this out.
this was a conscious decision I made in the summer of my senior year of high school
I realized it was terrible, hated it for a year and a half, then decided to love it
also, for a short time, "hyphy"
and I still call people "fool"
I basically just decided to be hella norcal because it's more fun (it mostly only comes out if I've been drinking)
alright wook you lose me here
egg does not have an "ay" sound in it
that is some weird shit
