Alexa and Election sound alike..fugelsang...

The Alexa system is playing The Beatles' "Love" album in the living room & suddenly stops when I say the word "election" - because the beginning of "election" sounds like "Alexa." So I scream "IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU!" at the device & it goes back to playing Beatles.

You can set it to respond to Alexa, Amazon, computer, or echo.

There are problems with all of them.

Maybe eventually they will add a more obscure word or phrase. I like "fee fi fo fum"
