This is not a diss on Apple or their employee, only an example of a common fallacy. But, I was in an online meeting with an Apple dev. Someone was giving a presentation. After the presentation that Apple dev said "There were zero mistakes in the captions, your English was so clear" and my first thought was that thinking there is a "correct English" is why these systems don't work. For myself, it took me a long time to stop thinking of English with different pronunciations and usages as wrong. For example Singapore. They are not speaking incorrect English. They are speaking their form of English which is fully valid and they have no problem communicating with each other. It's tech's job to understand all of it, not to get everyone to speak "California news broadcast English"
