Speed and Accuracy

Using the proper command syntax as defined above, will result in the fastest execution time (usually 3 seconds for phone calls and 10-15 seconds for most other commands) and highest accuracy.  If improper syntax is not used, the system will still attempt to fulfill your request, but will generally take more time.
