While some of us may still marvel at the magic of Siri, we're more likely to spend 15 minutes feeling frustrated with Apple's digital assistant after trying, again, to set a reminder to DVR "Game Of Thrones." Barbra Streisand, however, is not one to let technology get the best of her. When it was brought to her attention that Siri had been pronouncing her name wrong, she handled the problem like a complete boss. Streisand explained on NPR's Weekend Edition how Siri pronounced her last name "with a soft S, like sand on the beach." She added, "I've been saying this for my whole career."

Barbra Streisand is really tired of people mispronouncing her name – especially Siri. Entertainment legend Barbra Streisand has a bone to pick with Apple's automated personal assistant, Siri. Streisand told NPR's Scott Simon that Siri pronounces her name wrong during an episode of "Weekend Edition Saturday." Simon demonstrated this on the air by asking Siri, "Who's the only female vocalist who's had hit records for six straight decades?" Siri responded, "Barbra Streisand," pronouncing the second "s" like a "z." "Streisand, with a soft's,' like sand on the beach," Streisand corrected exasperatedly.

Singer Barbra Streisand doesn't have a great history when it comes to shaping her representation on new technology, but she has now scored at least one major victory. Streisand was irked at the fact that Siri, Apple's virtual assistant for iPhone and iPad users, was not pronouncing her name correctly. So she called Apple CEO Tim Cook directly, and he promised he would fix the problem. Siri will apparently soon say "Streisand" without pronouncing the second "s" hard, like a "z." "She pronounces my name wrong," Streisand told NPR. "'Streisand' with a soft's' like sand on a beach--I've been saying this for my whole career." "I called the head of Apple, Tim Cook, and he delightfully agreed to have Siri change the pronunciation of my name finally, with the next update on September 30. Let's see if that happens, because I will be thrilled."
