Curb your Curb references

On Saturday, iOS Dictation turned stop and chat into Stop & Shop, capitals and ampersand included.

More fun Dictation failures
“The nut free version” : “I mode the front lawn” : “Wrath scholar” : Spelling Glenmorangie : “F--k music” : “A concluding truck for belated pubs” : Edifice and Courson Blatz : Eight ways to spell Derrida : Nine ways to spell boogie-woogie

[To its credit, iOS Dictation and Mac Dictation now get most of these right. But Glemorangie is now Glenn Margie. And Oedipus (edifice ) is now Aus. In iOS, rathskellar is now rats killer, and folk music is still a curse. Neither Dictation service can spell Derrida. My phone didn’t even try. My Mac: da da.]
