Kia Ora Simon, That looked like you signed your email with my name. That would be interesting, considering the thread we were having on the NZ iPhone list the other day regarding Siri and swearing. For those of you not in New Zealand, a lot of Maori words start with the F**k sound although the F is spelt wh like the ph sounds like a f as well. One of our members on that list asked Siri about info on a New Zealand place name that started with the F word sound and Siri got quite offended and said it can’t use language like that! Tim, If you like the Maori accent you should look up an old New Zealand comedian on Youtube called Billy T James, one of NZ’s best comedians in my opinion. May he rest in peace.
