Snobby Linguatronic?

[krisw123]

Just been through voice "training " with my new Command system and then tried a destination with a "hard" vowel (I am from Leeds originally! ). Nav got nowhere near. So had to put on posh accent and it got it straight away! Any other similar experiences?

To be honest, I have trouble understanding people from Leeds and I'm from Yorkshire!

Leeds......? I think you'll find its a small enclave of Humberside...

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Regarding the OP, every time I've come across it you do have to speak rather clear and concise.

Or as my friend who owns an S-Class put it;

'Take tha plastic spoon out of thee gob first'

Ok ok! Still semi serious point though. Plenty of dialects with flat vowels as well as Yorkshire. I tried to put in Shaftesbury and had to say Sharrrftesberry to get it to recognise.!

Should say I am indulging in this whimsical thread whilst supping a couple of beers waiting for Leeds Rhinos v Warrington on Sky.
Ps Mrs Kris in Vegas for a week. Golf today and tomorrow. Cats and mice etc!

To be honest, I gave it up as a bad job..."Oldham"..Pardon.."OLDHAM"...No CD...."BITCH"...Dialing Matthew. The only thing she/it understands is Cancel.

What would you want to go to Oldham for ? !

 

[WOODYTHEWISE]

Its a long way from Leeds.

 

[krisw123]

Very good! Even further from Hull!

You need to go through the menus and under language (English) you'll find a subcategory "Northern Monkeys".

Ahhhh, I see now....

So what Kris needs to do is talk with his mouth full of shandy and it will make him sound more southern?
