iPhone 4S doesn't think Scottish people speak English.

Scarletpeaches will probably have something to say about it, but when I was there, even Scottish seagulls have weird accents.

Apple’s new virtual assistant, gave rise to a meme as excited customers tested out the new voice-recognition software. Except in Scotland, where the assistant appears unable to understand the Scottish brogue. A puzzled Siri responds to “What's the weather like today?” with “What's available in Labor Day?” Another request to “create a reminder” is greeted with a straight “I don’t understand,” and finally “I don't know what you mean”

It's because all tech is based on RP from the South of England. It's not just having problems with Scottish accents -- regional accents in England aren't recognised either.
