One of my family has Alexa in her house, which advertises whenever they engage it. Whenever we go there, I have to resist the urge to pick a fight with Alexa regarding the improprieties of Amazon.

"Alexa, turn off 'by the way'."

You're welcome.

Is there a Google version of this? I took google out because of this very issue
