Getting the most out of Siri in iOS 8

I used and enjoyed Siri in an iPhone 5.  I did not really explore Siri fully, however.  For example, I have a bluetooth car handsfree kit, but using activating Siri always seemed to require touching the actual phone.  I now plug in my iPhone 6 in my car, and use "Hey Siri" to give truly hands-free voice commands to Siri.  Some give graphical data that I cannot look at while I drive.  At the end are helpful audiobook and podcast commands...

• SMS/iMessage:
• "read my texts" or "read my messages"
• When I have messages, Siri gives me the opportunity to reply to each person who has sent me SMS or iMessages
• You can also ask Siri to text people.  I find it easiest to text people for whom I have a defined relationship (you can define relationships in contacts) such as wife.
• "Tell her I'll be there in 5 minutes" - replying to Siri after reading a message
• Phone: 
• "call my wife, mobile"
• "Facetime Frank"
• "Call 480-555-1212"
• Locations:
• Is my wife home?
• Misc:
• "enable airplane mode", "turn on airplane mode"
• "Turn on do not disturb"
• "my wife is Jane Doe"
• "Who is near me"
• "Note that I need to buy eggs" - adds a note to the notes app
• "What's my ETA?"
• "How many dollars is 45 euros"
• "Google bendgate"
• "Launch <app name>" - "launch photos"
• "What can I ask you?" or "What can Siri do?" *** GOLD *** click on categories to see examples
• Weather:
• "What's it like outside?"
• "Will it be hot today?"
• "How windy is it out there?"
• Directions:
• "Give me directions home"
• You have to have it in your contacts to ask for it...
• "What is Bob's address?"
• "Are we there yet?"
• "Find coffee near me"
• Alarm:
• "Wake me up tomorrow at 6AM"
• "Do I have an alarm set?" - shows you alarms and if they are set, and lets you turn them on with a swipe
• "Turn on my 5AM alarm" - I already have one defined for several days per week, and turned that one on!
• "Set a timer for 5 minutes"
• Twitter:
• "Show me my tweets"
• "Search twitter for SF giants"
• "What's trending on twitter?"
• "tweet learning to use hashtag siri for twitter"
• Sports:
• "Score for the Giants game today?"  Right now I get asked San Francisco or New York, since both are in season.
• "What is the Giants' roster?"
• Stock:
• Ask Siri, "How's Apple stock doing?"
• Calendar:
• "What's on my calendar for tomorrow"
• "Cancel my noon appointment tomorrow"
• "When is my next meeting?"
• I have not yet been successful adding new appoints to Siri that are not 1 hour long.  If you know how, let me know.
• meet my daughter at noon"
• Pronunciation:
• Ask Siri, "Learn to pronounce the name, <name>"
• Music:
• "Play album <album name>"
• "Play artist <artist name>"
• "Play song <song name>"
• "Play genre classical"
• "Play iTunes radio"
• Podcast and audiobook controls:
• Ask Siri, "Play podcast <podcast name>" - only when there are unplayed episodes
• Ask Siri, "Play audio book <audio book name>"
• "Play podcast" to resume playing a podcast - only do this when that was the last audio thing you were doing.  If you were playing music, it plays your first podcast.
• "Play audiobook" to resume playing an audiobook - only do this when this was the last audio thing you were doing.  If you were listening to a podcast, for example, this plays your first audiobook.
• Ask Siri to move in time in your podcast or audiobook:
•  "Skip three and a half minutes"
• "Jump ahead four minutes"
• "rewind four minutes"
• "Jump back four minutes"
• "Skip ahead two minutes"
• "Skip back two minutes"
• "Fast forward fourty minutes"
