"Computer," the Joey said, interrupting Peter, "is unrecognized."
Peter gave Byron a puzzled look. "What happened?"
Byron was scratching his head. "Well how do you like that. We never considered that. I mean, that if we call the computer 'computer,' then we can't use that word once it's listening to whatever we tell it."
"Ah," Peter said. "Right. Hmm." He thought about this for a second, then sat down before the Joey and started typing.
"What are you doing?" Byron said.
"Well," Peter said, lifting the microphone, "since the word computer won't compute, all we need to do is give it a unique name that we wouldn't normally use in an everyday context."
"Of course," Byron said. "Good thinking."
Peter pressed a key and the Joey spoke: "Please say my name so that I know who I am."
"Pip," Peter said, loud and clear.
"Please repeat my name again, faster this time."
