    I recently fell and gave myself a cartoon-like black eye. No permanent damage.

    I called a buddy to joke with him about it, and his phone went to voicemail. Not uncommon, so I left a message.

    After the first couple sentences, I mentioned that "I fell the other day and gifted myself with a big, beautiful black eye."

    The speech-to-text converter on his messenger service translated that to him via text as:

    "I fell the other day and gifted myself with a big, beautiful black guy."

    He was more than a little bit confused.

    Headsets are a terror I think too. Bixby on my Samsung 8 plus has gone stupid lately, I had to change my husband's name back to his nickname in order to get it to call him. Never knew voicemail could convert the language in a message.
