I live in Montreal and my biggest gripe with Siri is her not being bilingual! There are so many street names or place names here that are French and when I want to send a message to a francophone friend I can only use handsfree mode in English.


Imagine that in Northern Ontario/Val d'Or French, which still has a vowel system that's almost dead in the south now. The grammar's not as different now as it was when I was a kid (that's more than a half-century ago) but that's not quite "standard Canadian French" either, let alone continental French.
