The next Siri won’t put the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLAble.
That’s more or less the promise Apple (http://mashable.com/category/apple/) made during last week’s World Wide Developers Conference Key**te (http://mashable.com/2017/06/05/apple-ios-11/).

(My personal favorite is when Siri mangles the name of my hometown.) Read more...
