Hello! I have a friend named Thabit, pronounced "Sa-beet". Maybe you reading this Thabit haha.. Ok so I have tried adding field -> "phonetic first name", "pronunciation first name", and even "nickname". no matter what I do, siri keeps pronouncing his name "Tha-bit". I ask siri to fix pronunciation and it just links me to the contact app. Siri use to actually work with you and ask how you'd like her to pronounce the name and you could speak it again and she would reply with a few different options and you could choose the best one.. apparently we dont do this anymore.. i dont know why they got rid o that feature, its obviously the best way to handle this. any suggestions? she just won't learn lol

thanks
Chris
