Apple's Siri

Doesn't speak Southern.
At all.
She doesn't cotton a single word I say. I ask, and she just spits gibberish back at me.
I've got an accent, but it ain't that damned thick (usually).

It's like this:

She's kind of smarmy too.

I think that is the best descriptor I have read smarmy. My wife has the 4s I have the original 4, for my opinion, not much different. Mine works just fine.

She was pretty hot on The Big Bang Theory.

That's cuz nun'a ya'll know how to speak English down there.

I wonder how it works a little further north. I just tried, "Ya der hey," from Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and she understood. What about Canada, any problems up there?

I don't have one o'they fancy phones but I've heard she's a bloke over here!

That Burnistoun sketch in the lift is excellent. I think I speak fairly normal English with a slight Welsh accent and I can never get any of those telephone answering things for cinemas etc to understand me. Same with most call centres but most of them are in India!
