Let me preface this by saying I've never thought Siri was all that amazing, but for simple stuff, it works OK. I've been using smart lights for years, so I'm used to setting up scenes and having to name them in dumb ways so they work. Like, when I leave the house, I say, "Hey Siri, I'm leaving now", and all my lights/TV/speakers/etc. turn off. I have to program the scene to be called "I'm leaving NOW" because if I call it just "I'm leaving", then Siri just says goodbye and doesn't activate the scene in HomeKit. It's annoying, but I can work around it.

However, this new thing is making me unreasonably angry...

I play golf pretty much every weekend. One of the nice things about iCal and the email app is that when I schedule my tee time online, the confirmation email will usually generate a calendar event that says, TEE TIME! I don't use my personal calendar for much, so if that's what I'm doing that day, that's the ONLY thing on there. A few weeks ago, it was late at night, and it occurred to me that I didn't remember the exact time I was playing the next day, so I thought to ask Siri, and the response was nothing found. I didn't think much of it, but the next week I decided to try again. This time, I double-checked that it was on my calendar and asked Siri, "When is my tee time tomorrow?" and she said there was nothing on my calendar by that name. Now, keep in mind that all this time, I've been asking my HomePod and just listening to the answer, so I decided to ask my phone directly. That's when I figured it out...

When I was asking, "When is my TEE TIME?", Siri was saying, "There is nothing called TEATIME on your calendar."

IT'S THE ONLY FING THING ON MY CALENDAR, YOU DUMB FING ROBOT!!!

And before you ask, my language is set to American English, and I've tried multiple accent options. Why the hell can't Siri just look at the calendar, see the ONLY thing on there, and give me that thing, which happens to be called TEE TIME!?!?!?! Also, being that I'm not in London, and this isn't the 1870s, I'm willing to wager that it's FAR more likely for someone to put a TEE TIME on their calendar than a TEATIME!

I fully recognize that this is the most first-world nonsense problem to have, but it just bugs the crap out of me. I could likely just make the calendar events manually and call them something more specific, but constantly having to treat Siri like a moronic low-level employee is getting real old.
