Vista Speech Recognition sucks in general, I have been told, but it seems to be even worse for those who don't speak non-American accents.

It is because of his New Zealand accent, we ausies often give them a hard time as they can not say fish and chips.

I thought they called what North Americans called fries, chips in UK, Australia, and NZ, no?

The most amusing feature of the New Zealand accent, I think, is the pronounciation of the short "e" as an American short "i". It's a friggin sexy accent though; any Kiwi guys with difficulty getting women should go to the US.

Ausies say fish and chips -> fesh and cheps.. six -> sex
NZers say it fush and chups.. six -> sux

That is the difference.

Also Australians are desended from convicts. tongue

In New Zealand we says 'chips'.

But I noticed in McDonalds in Australia - they use the term 'fries'
