An ex boyfriend once noticed I pronounced N like "in." Every since then I've been very cognizant of it, I don't make that mistake anymore. I never even considered it was a thing until he brought it up.

root beer posted:The pin/pen merger is also a thing in the American South (also Appalachia), not just the World South There's some kind of phenomena where people use ɛ instead of ɪ regardless of their regional accent. I have a friend who pronounces pillow as pellow, sit as set, Illinois as Ellinois (even though that is where we're from) and milk as melk. I was watching the Perks of Being a Wallflower and noticed the main dude pronounces milkshake as MELKshake. Im sure in some regions its more unanimous than others but largely it's idiolect rather than dialect. It's real annoying hearing my friend try and train a dog by repeatedly saying SET. SET. SET. Edit: picture tax

Try as we might, with ridiculous over-enunciation or silly accents, it does not understand us saying "sand." Gives us send no matter what.

Is it still confused by "sandwich" or "quicksand"? Or say you were searching for "The Sands of Iwo Jima" It's been my experience that voice recognition sometimes gets it when you add context for it like that.

When I use my car's hands-free function to ask Spotify to play songs, for some reason it defaults to Swedish, so I have to put on a really thick Swedish accent when I say the name of the song or artist. I might get around to changing that but it's funny how badly it gets it wrong sometimes.

I might get around to changing that but it's funny how badly it gets it wrong sometimes. My apple watch has gotten terrible about not hearing the word "minutes." So "set a timer for five minutes" turns into 'set a timer for five" e.g. 5pm. I've taken to appending "you piece of poo poo" to every timer request, and it parses those just fine.

Leon Sumbitches posted:Yep. I grew up saying ink pen or push pin because otherwise no one knew what the gently caress I was referring to. I heard “ink pen” all the time in my early childhood in Ohio, not even really all that close to the Appalachian region. It kinda stopped by the ‘90s though, maybe people here became, I dunno, less country? Either way I’m not even sure why I heard it in the first place, pin/pen wasn’t really much of a thing here. caspergers posted:There's some kind of phenomena where people use ɛ instead of ɪ regardless of their regional accent. I have a friend who pronounces pillow as pellow, sit as set, Illinois as Ellinois (even though that is where we're from) and milk as melk. This, on the other hand. I don’t do it but know so many people who do and it drives me up the loving wall (I’d never actually let on that it does though). One guy I knew even went as far as to pronounce Erie as Erry for some goddamned reason. [I call almond milk “malk” though] Speaking of Ohio, iykyk

It's usually made to work extra well with affirmative clauses like "please" and "ok" or the persona's name but it really works with any short phrases so feel free to call it a piece of poo poo or rear end in a top hat as affirmative punctuation.

Spectral Werewolf posted:I don’t think I know anyone who pronounces marry and Mary differently. Where about is that? I always find this stuff interesting because to me Mary and marry are obviously pronunced differently, but we DO have a reasonably common name that is pronunced the same as marry but is just a cognate of Mary. Maybe we're all just saying Mary wrong!

Obviously, if Siri’s tripping over the word ‘minute’, it probably won’t work for everyone. But it seems to work even without “timer”.
