    Will it recognize metrosexual accents?

    Yes, select the check box: preferences/language settings/accent/Fanboi/Apple

    This is the Mac equivalent to your current setting:

    options/language setings/accent/Troll/WindowsME

    Score 3, Informative? Change metrosexual to homosexual and watch yourself get modded troll/flamebait. What's the difference?

    The difference is that while metrosexuals try hard to be gay, homosexuals succeed.

    I tried it a few years back. I stopped when my youngest, who was still learning to talk started going round the house saying 'mousegrid' all the time.

    Good job he didn't get the whole thing though, which was typically.

    "Mousegrid...."

    "Mousegrid...."

    "MOUSEGRID!!...."

    "FUCKING MOUSEGRID YOU PIECE OF SHIT PROGRAM!!!"
