Help voice typing will NOT learn the name of my town

[Android Question]

I live in Melfort, Saskatchewan, Canada. I have had 3 of these damned phones, and they can do pretty much everything. They can surf the web and find Melfort (including Google streetview of my house), they can have a Melfort phone number programmed into them, they can tell me that I am, in fact, standing here in Melfort using GPS. But apparently there is absolutely no bloody way to make the voice recognition understand that I DO NOT LIVE IN, OR SEND TEXTS ABOUT, MILFORD, CONNETICUT!!!!!!!!!

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to make Google the great and powerful recognize the name of my town so I don't have to correct all my texts when using voice typing? I've been reading the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books to my kids, and I'm starting to understand how the character Percy feels when the god Dionysus never uses his proper name.

Thanks.

I found Google can be rather useless when it comes to things like that and won't learn, I found it has difficulty with Xilinhot, which is my city.

We're not in the US, and so places in Canada and China are basically "foreign" to Google. I got a friend who lives in Huntsville, Ontario, Canada, and likely Google would assume that to be Huntsville, Alabama, USA.

Fair enough, but maybe someone at Google could take a quick break from trying to create Skynet and just have the voice recognition cross reference to the GPS to see where the user is standing. Another simple fix would be to give us a screen that looks and works like the "Text shortcuts" screen so we could have it autocorrect its own stupidity. Then we could just put in the wrong town name and have it autocorrect to the right one. But I guess the people at Google are just a bunch of Yahoos.
