The funny thing is that he is clearly thinking like a computer programmer in his first sentence. I wonder if naive users would generally have better results on first contact with Siri, compared to technical users who try to over-structure their commands?

If I wanted a list of work reminders, I might have: "Add send contract to john to my work list." which would be less natural... also, in my mind, what I was adding to my reminders was the task to buy ketchup, not "ketchup" by itself.
Anyway, I'm sure they'll add more supported syntaxes, and in parallel people will learn and adapt to the syntaxes that are actually supported.
