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.

Subject: Re: Siri is still pretty stupid

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.
