Dumb trick to prevent dictation from using your contact names

This is the most hilarious duct-tape workaround for the problem of macOS/iOS thinking you’re voice-dictating the names of your contacts (99.9% of the time I’m saying “more”, not “Moore”). But this workaround works, and I am grateful for it: https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/1oftoml/a_7line_script_fixed_my_biggest_ios_annoyance_in/

I’d love the opposite of this. Our daughter’s name is Sigrid, and when using dictation, Siri regularly captures this as “cigarette,” no matter what the context. Very frustrating. And kind of gross.
