As a Texan first, American second, I sympathize with this statement. Siri can't understand me probably 25% of the time. I use STT for iMessage while in the car, and half the time it will take 3+ times to either get it right or me give up, and hope to remember to text them by hand when I next stop.

What does this mean? When I pledged my oath to become a citizen, I had to promise to put America above all other allegiances. Is it in relation to allegiance in the general sense or some weird statement that only relates to STT?

When they say everything's bigger in Texas, maybe that includes the patriotism.

I took it to mean “as someone with a Texas accent”

Yeah, but I had my fingers crossed behind my back. I hail from, and only stand for, the Republic Of Scouse.

(and if you think Texans have it bad regarding being understood, try being a Scouser [1])

Texans (generally) consider themselves Texans firsts. Similar to born and raised New Yorkers (NYC). That said, I really meant it tongue-in-cheek that my accent was too thick, and doesn't work well for Siri's STT model. ChatGPT's does way better, but I really don't like talking to an LLM.
