David,
Show some class and don't insult Anders over his way of signing his emails.
We hear enough from Trump who has no class whatsoever and insults everyone and
every country except Russia. EH?

If there had been any Canadians at the school on class at the time, I would
have never made the comment as I know using the term A means nothing in
respects to class. Although, try to hear the term A in Ottawa Ontario.

Hi,
Actually, I don't believe that Anders was referring to the "eh" euphemism at all, he simply has a /
followed by the letter A at the end of all of his messages. Likely has something to do with his name,
although I'd have to defer that to Anders himself for exact reasons. I would also beg to differ with respect
to which class of Canadian uses the "eh" euphemism. Class itself is a matter of opinion with
respect to who fits in where, and I've heard Canadians from very well off to not so much use "eh".
I've even been known to use it myself and I certainly don't place myself in what might be considered lower
class. Now, Bob and Doug MacKenzie, or those two mousse in the Brother Bear movie exaggerated its use quite
well, eh?
Later...

Oh, BTW, Anders, only low class Canadians say \A. I can say that being
Cnadian. Although when I was on class at an American guide dog school, my
nationality was brought into question as I did not say \A, at any time. Thus
my earlier comment. There were no other Canadians on class with me so, I felt
I was safe.

Hi!
I don’t know what to think really.
SOme Iphone and apple fans, especially one blind guy i have seen on some
swedish list is really happy about siri.
He could get opening and closing times for a specific store somewhere in sweden.
I can not do the same with google assist in swedish.
But i guess it will come, the sooner the better.
From my perspective siri must have a hearing loss or maybe i have a lisp or
stuttering and strange voice.
I asked her to play Script from a jester’s tears by Marillion but she played
something else.
Hmm, my conclusion is that i agree with you.

One of my pet peeve's about Siri has been that it is absolutely obtuse when you
asked to find a specific place on a specific street. It will come back and say
I found such and such a place on such and such a Street, does that look good?
Or is that the one you wanted? Well, Siri, since I already gave you the street
name of the store name, and I know there is only one such on that street, why
don't you just give me the phone number I asked for in the first place? Google
does this and so does Alexa. But good old Siri still can't get this right even
in iOS 11. Come on Apple. This is pretty elementary stuff. What the hell did
you do with all your work on Siri, anyway? Have other people found improvements
to Siri in the real world? I know it can do all sorts of music trivia about
which I care not. But what about real world situations? You know, like when you
want a phone number and don't want to engage in meaningless back-and-forth with
your so called Assistant?
