- rawling 1y agoNot sure if joking, but presumably that then just wouldn't trigger this behaviour: > If you happen to pronounce the name “Dave and Buster’s” as someone would normally pronounce it, almost like it’s a single word, the transcription engine on iOS will recognize¹ the brand name and correctly write it as “Dave & Buster’s” (with an ampersand).

So, not impossible, but less likely than you think
