I am having a really hard time getting Siri to respond to the "Remind me about this" command that's supposed to set a reminder for whatever I'm on (email, web page, etc...). Siri is hearing "this" as "fifth" or some other word that sounds like "this". Seems to me that Siri should be tuned to hear this correctly and should assume that something that sounds like "Remind me about this" is that phrase and not some nonsense phrase. Alternatively, Apple should pick a different phrase that is less prone to mispronunciation, especially for users with a lisp or difficulty pronouncing "this".

Anyone else having issues with this? If so, any workarounds.

In the app press the Share icon (see icon below) and choose reminder. the reminder you create will link back to the app. Example if you use the share icon on a website in Safari the reminder will include the web site as a link.

For what it's worth the Siri "remind me about" works fine for me.
