How can I use words like 'morning' and numbers in my todo text without sandy reading them as scheduling information?
I would like to be able to create todos which contain numbers and days and which are not scheduling information. If I write 'Send out 5 invitations @project' Sandy interprets the 5 as a date. If I write 'Send application to Good Morning America' she interprets the Morning as a time information. Is there a way to maybe put *mark* or (mark) these to be not parsed?
thanks!

Inappropriate?Michele, you should find that if you put the entire text in quotes, Sandy will ignore numbers etc. - eg
remember "Send application to Good Morning America" @todo
or
remember "Listen to the Today Programme" at 6am @todo @weekdays -

Inappropriate?Howdy,
Thanks for helping Michele out, William!
While we are always working to help Sandy disambiguate "morning" from "Good Morning" and "Remind me to talk to Sue about my December 1st meeting tomorrow," there are times where it's not so obvious (even coming up with some examples to fool Sandy fooled me at times too ;-). And that's why we baked in an escape hatch in the form of putting "quotes around things like December 1st" to let Sandy to leave them be.
I've just added this to the Cheat sheet [http://iwantsandy.com/help/cheatsheet] and will be sure to add it to related help going forward.

Inappropriate?I've been successful using quotes with text, but I can't get Sandy to accept a number like 40-252111 in a quoted test string without turning it into a phone number
I’m frustrated
