I wonder if "lowest common denominator" is a nasty way of saying "normal?" I've often argued that I don't even *have* an accent--at least not a regional one. I think I pretty much speak newscaster English. Although I can lapse into valleyspeak or hippify as the occasion demands, among other affectations of the linguistic variety. I'm very susceptible and tend to mirror the people around me.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West

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.
