I had a chance to live in the middle of the "hood" in a large American city for about 6 months. I was one of the few white guys around. I spoke English, they spoke English - but it was about a week before I could understand people, especially on a crowded city bus. The first few days felt like a foreign country and it was the same country I grew up in! I wonder how well Siri and friends work with Ebonics?

That's a double whammy because diction is so different as well; our brain fills in the gaps in phoneme recognition by pattern matching and the differing dialect makes that much harder as well.
