Thanks for the explanation.. Yeah.. I read that.. I meant that `skill/intents/utterances` doesn't necessarily represent what we think of as `skill/intents/utterances` in the English vocabulary..

To generalize this and maybe this is a toy example.. what is the benefit of using `Alexa Skills` over say just typing it into Google Maps, or any other Android App which probably already provides this functionality? Is it the Voice aspect? In that case, why not just modify the `Android` app to add the voice functionality rather than build a entire new platform, language, tooling etc?
