Oh Boy, Don't Get Me STARTED!!!
My Mother's maiden name is "Visocky" so, naturally, I have a number of
cousins with that last name. But no matter how painstakingly I enunciate
"Visocky," Siri cannot get it right! I've resorted to listing the
diminutive versions of my cousins' first names; i.e., Tommy instead of Tom,
Kenny instead of Ken, Patsy instead of Pat, Annie instead of Ann. If my
cousins ever saw my Contacts list my hide wouldn't be worth a plug nickel!
But I've done this little trick because, naturally, there are several
"Tom's, "Ken's", Pat's" and "Ann's" in my contacts. Siri also has trouble
recognizing my Sister's last name (Tudjen) and one of my nieces still has
that surname, but I've figured out to pronounce that last name so Siri gets
it.

Subject: a small observation about using Siri.
Hi,
For those using Siri: do you ever find that Siri just can't hear a
particular word? For example, i asked Siri to "Translate the word languid
into italian", but Siri could only hear me say "translate the word language
into italian". Now, here's the thing, i never noticed before that when Siri
tells me what i have said, is in an edit field. So, i just doubletapped on
it, and edited "language" into "languid" and voila! it worked. This could
save me a million attempts to get Siri to understand less common words.
Probably, you all knew this, but it was a useful find for me.
HTH Sandy.
