I think I'm just #blessed with the specific American accent (or "no accent") they must have trained it on lol. On the other hand, Siri frequently mishears my wife who's from California but doesn't have what I would call an accent any different from mine, so who knows.

My wife is ESL (although without much discernible accent) and Siri understands her every time.

I have a vaguely white trash Maryland accent and that fucker needs to hear everything three times from me.
