Hi, point well taken. I am sure there are more likely ways of wording a 
question. However, if I put latitude and Madison Wisconsin in a Google web 
search, I will likely get the answer. The other words, in good database 
searches, are just so much filler. If I said, would you please give me the 
latitude of madison wisconsin, the key words for that search are still there. 
However, Apple is Apple, and it often lives in a different universe. Smile.

Who was it, Dave I think, mentioned about how you word things when asking Siri. 
That does seem to make a big difference.
 
Is there a podcast somewhere about how to work with Siri most effectively?

I don't have the same problems that you are having with Siri. When I ask Siri a 
question or want to open an app he either doesn't respond or apologises that 
the Internet isn't working. the Internet is working. I have to ask the question 
or when I'm wanting to open an app 

A couple of times. This doesn't happen all of the time. I can't wait for the 
upgrade as long as they fix Siri.

Hi all, I wonder if any of you have had the following problem. I have 
experienced a lot of situations where I will ask Siri a question and she will 
say that she doesn’t understand the question. It’s more specific than that. 
Here is an example.
I ask Siri, “What is the latitude of Madison Wisconsin?”
Siri says, “I don’t understand the latitude of Madison Wisconsin.” So she knows 
what I am asking, that is not where the breakdown occurs. I asked her this 
yesterday and twice she gave me the same answer using the exact same words I 
used in the question. On the third attempt, she gave me the answer.
 
So, what goes here. Is she becoming brain dead? Is three times the charm? This 
has also happened on other questions lately. She repeats the question so I know 
she understands and several attempts later, she will give me the answer. I’ll 
likely report this to Apple, but I wondered if anyone else had seen this 
problem.
