Alexa suddenly says “space” aloud between each letter when spelling. Anyone else?

Just say “Alexa, spell garbage”

Sometimes Alexa thinks me or my family has said her name and will include herself in the conversation. I think we’ve all experienced this. Well, the other day my mom said to me “you always make good meals.” As we were talking about the dinner I had made. Alexa chimes in with something along the lines of “that’s not appropriate, why don’t we talk about something else.” So I ask Alexa what did she think was said.. Y’all she responds, again somewhat paraphrasing, “I want to open your legs and BEEP.” She censored the rest. Wth. I told her that is not what was said and we’re not talking to her. She would not stop talking to us even after asking her to stop listening. She went silent after I said we should unplug it. Freaked me out.

She's always had glitches, but none this bad. This video doesn't include the few minutes before we started recording of her glitching out.

Fair warning... Total Rant and kinda long. When i brought my dog home 2½ years ago, i built out the corner of my bedroom into her space, crate, food, water, toy box... Its her little doggie condo.

Then i hung a plug-in pendant light for her, connected to a smart plug - which i named Indi's Room.

The other day, upon waking up, i say "Alexa, turn on Indi's Room" just like i have every day for the past 2½ years.

And that hateful heifer answered me "Sorry, i didn't find a group or device named Indi's Room"

The ikea pendant that i used doesn't have a switch on it, hence the smart plug. So i open the app, to tap the button to turn it on..... And the apostrophe has disappeared from the device name, it now reads "Indi s Room"

Naturally. I say, "Alexa, turn on Indi ess room" and poof, we have light.

So.... My rant is..... Why in the eff you see kay, has my device name changed??!! I am assuming i can blame Alexa+. I've turned it off so many times, but its literally making using my devices miserable. One device tells me that i a room doesn't support what I'm asking it to do, but if i walk into the actual room and ask the device there it works just fine.

I just want my settings to stay how i set them, and for my routines to work from every device.

Whole home speakers also only works from certain devices.. which is frankly the only reason i have them in multiple rooms!!!!!

Hi! Sometime in July I played an album by Train and since then it displays Mermaid no matter what song is playing (for instance it was playing Monster Mash when I took this photo). As far as I can tell it isn’t missing an update or anything, but I don’t really know. Any suggestions for how to fix this?
