    You know when you have a bit of an accent and things get misinterpreted all the time? Like, the way my dad pronounces the words ‘beautiful’ and ‘vodka’ used to make us kids giggle, for example.

    It can get more challenging when you’re trying to use a piece of technology that responds to voice commands and it’s unable to compute.

    But the worst of it all is when the CEO of a company just happens to be standing in a room full of people demonstrating the latest answer to Apple’s Siri and it’s unable to understand you not once, but three times.

    As Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, delivered a keynote address at Salesforce’s annual Dreamforce conference, he called upon the services of Cortana:

    Show me my most at-risk opportunities.

    Cortana, however, did not seem to understand its own boss and instead showed results for ‘Show me to buy milk at this opportunity’. Cortana doesn’t seem to be a grammar nazi either.

    The thing is, when Satya says ‘at-risk’ it kinda sounds like he’s saying ‘accurate’ – but I’m not too sure where Cortana got ‘milk’ in all that.
