- Baeocystin 8y agoAn interesting thought. In my case, though, I live and work in the bay area of California, so no H-dropping, and the accent I use is probably the one that is the most common in terms of use for a training set. (I was saying 'hale-oh-gen', as was Alexa, FWIW. Now I'm curious if others can repeat the same error!)
