Q: "Hey Siri, what is the driving distance between Tacoma and Kirkland both in Washington". A: "I need to know your location. Please enable Siri access to location on your settings app."

Now this is something unexpected: Tahoe's new "Apps" pannel behaves worse than Windows start menu. It is sluggish, at times downright unrespinsive, some UI elements just don't work... it is me or "26" is just not Apple's number?!

When there are all adults in an adult setting it is weird to ask where the "potty" is. You ask for the "bathroom", or some other adult word for it. Same goes for an engineer to say "BSOD". The word is "Bugcheck".
