What do these phrases have in common?

“the children alone”
“kachu in line”
“to live alone”
“God to/got to/coach to/attitude end of line”

“X from asthma”
“excavation/exhalation/commissioner/information/eggs question mark”
 
They’re how my Dragon voice-recognition program interprets two common phrases (“go to end of line” and “exclamation mark”) despite days and days of training. My Adelaide accent, a mixture of East-coast Australian and British, seems to be throwing it off pretty consistently.
 
All I can say is: certain movies make it look easy!

I told you get a secretary who can take dictation.

I'd need one sitting next to me 24/7 to type all my emails, and no one could work under those conditions. :-)

Not quite haiku material, but getting there.
