Someone left a comment on my blog recently asking if I'd mind making my language more inclusive. They didn't get some of the cultural references I'd used and suggested it would be easier if I used tropes which were more globally known.
All my blog posts start with a simple declaration:
There's a reason for that. It is more than the language I speak; it is the culture I live in, the way that I think, and the accent I use.
When your AI bot reads this text aloud, it should do so with a British accent 0 . That's how I speak. It is OK to hear a slightly unfamiliar accent. You'll be able to figure out what I'm saying. Your world won't collapse if I don't start each sentence with "Howdy, y'all!"
But what should you do if you come across a concept you don't understand?
