You used to be able to say to Siri, “Learn how to pronounce [contact’s name],” and it would prompt you to say the name yourself, then present you with several options for pronouncing the name.

That feature is gone! You are now expected to compose a “phonetic name” in a field in this person’s contact card. How are you expected to spell something phonetically?? Siri doesn’t have some kind of special alphabet. The name I’m having trouble with is EXTREMELY COMMON, so the phonetic spelling is the same as the actual spelling. I don’t understand what we’re supposed to do here.
