I think I tried to say "statement inquiries" 5 times before I wanted to strangle the computer bitch who kept responding "sorry, I didn't catch that". Stop putting "s" "t" "k" and "r" sounds in every damn topic!

Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | Tine - you made me laugh because, I get the same reaction with "Siri" on my iPhone! - And I'm not even a cancer survivor (only the CG). I articulate my words very carefully, speak slowly, talk in a normal voice, or shout but she always repeats what she thinks I said and it is so way off base that I'm beginning to wonder if it could be my former status as a "Canuck" from Quebec! Next time I have a discussion with "Siri", I am going to write down her responses. Or maybe Siri is a lovely Southern gal and I still have some Yankee remnants in my background.
