iPhone has problems with Scottish accents

The iPhone 4s which launched with a flourish has hit a glitch in Scotland at least.

Created in California, the phone has a much-heralded voice command technology which seems to have had a bit of trouble crossing the Atlantic.

The voice recognition software has problems translating Scottish accents.

I have found an easy fix for this, just talk with an American accent it work every time.

I want to travel to Scotland to return to my roots, as it were...sadly, I've never been, nor do I have an amazing Scottish accent! xD But my family is Scottish as all hell! (with some English and Native American sprinkled in) ;P <3

Why must I over explain everything...v_v;

American accents are the easiest accents to imitate, any Scot can do it.
