Yes, it goes both ways :) It would be very interesting to get some
statistics/reports out of Apple's Siri project as to the "hardest cases".
My cousin recently got an iPhone with Siri. She has a much worse drawl
than mine :) She told it to "Call Jeff", and Siri says "I see no J F in
your contacts". (Imagine a very heavily drawled "Jeff" more like
"Jaaay-Yufff", decidedly two syllables there...)
She's had mixed results with Siri :) It may be beneficial speech
therapy for her, but hard to change decades of Southern :)
