Admitting one's ignorance in a public place usually doesn't end well. They are both popular actors from very popular shows that apparently you haven't watched. And I'm not using ignorance in a pejorative sense, just that you are unaware of something that many others are aware of.
Actually, it does learn. You may want to re-train it - you can do that by turning off Siri and/or Hey Siri, and enabling them again (it'll start a training process). You'll find more troubleshooting advice in this article https://support.apple.com/HT204389
Siri and iOS dictation features work remarkably well for me, almost seems magical at times. They do work better when I'm in quiet environments, which should not be a surprise - my voice has to be picked out from amidst the other sounds and noise. If you habitually hold your iPhone in a way that blocks the microphone, if it's a substantial distance from your mouth, if you mumble or speak at a very rapid rate...
Maybe I'm at an advantage. I was an recording/broadcast engineer for many years, so getting clean sound into a microphone is second nature to me now; like breathing out and breathing in. I may not be Professor H. Higgins of 27A Wimpole St., London, but I was pretty good at coaxing intelligible performances from amateur announcers/presenters.

Reading comprehension must not be your forte.

You have two apartments?
You probably should just get one; maybe that way you'll be able to (hopefully) move into something with more square footage than what you currently have.

Wow, I could have sworn when the article was first posted the names weren't there, I scanned it several times. I guess I was super tired. Mea Culpa!!!

Agreed. I couldn't be any farther away from the target audience of that ad - and from the people who like this thing.
Thanks, I'll give those a try. I don't have a heavy accent so maybe it's just me. I mainly use Siri with my iPhone on the desk next to me so I don't have to pick it up to make a call.
One area I really struggle with is things like new reminders and notes. I will get half way through a sentance and Siri stops and takes what I've said so far as the finished text. It's such a pain it's actually quicker to type it in instead. Hope these tips help with that.
Man that's a long ad that doesn't really make me want to buy the new Apple TV. Is that was it's meant to do?
I wonder what a non Apple fan would think of that ad? We are all too engrossed into this ecosystem and way of life to be unbiased!

Nee way man. I'm a Geordie not a wabbit.
If it can't understand regional accents, Siri is fookin' useless in the UK.
