    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.
