Will iPhone 4 speak English?

My iPhone 3GS doesn’t speak English as I know it.  The “Favorites”, “Airplane Mode” and “Carrier” menu items to my mind should be “Favourites”, “Flight-safe Mode” and “Network”.  Odd that my iPhone knows how to space UK telephone numbers correctly (I know few people who do), and how to correct my spelling in text messages, but lets itself down with its own menu terminology.  Ho hum.  At least the upgrade to iOS4 is free – bring on 21st June. When my third-party apps can multitask, I’m bound to get more done 🙂

Announcing the Quiet Carriage…

“Welcome aboard this 0735 service to Leeds, calling at blah blah, tickets are only valid blah blah, buffet car situated in blah blah, trolley service blah blah, Wifi available blah blah, safety information is located in blah blah, if you’re not intending to travel blah blah, Quiet Carriage situated in Coach blah blah…”

A long, intrusive announcement.  In the Quiet Carriage.  At least there’s no extra charge for irony.
