Mine too. I wish it had a bit more granular detail; there are some pretty wide swaths there and responses that are shown as options but not represented on the map.

The longer you live somewhere the more you'll adapt to their accent, y'all.

Canada is like cheese. It cleanses away any accent. Except for Quebec, Newfoundland, Labrador, and all those weird islands on the Atlantic. They really all have their own dialects.

I can speak in many accents. 
Ever talked to a new girl with an English accent?

Reminds me of the time I was drunk on the bus and somehow got into a conversation with this gorgeous undergrad girl - she was studying linguistics and I popped up with a list of languages I know. I said something while switching between English, French, and Italian. She laughed, but was suitably impressed.
Truth is I was just drunk.

Oh, I also speak French. Not very well, but they don't have to know that.
