After reading Shawn Blanc's great post on how to set up shared Reminders lists using iCloud, I played around with different approaches to the syntax for adding items to the lists, to see if it was possible to avoid the hassle he describes when attempting to add something to your non-default list.
The solution is really simple; here's the syntax to use:
Add [item] to my [listname] list.
So if you've got a list named Shopping, you can say 'Add milk to my Shopping list.'
Siri can't create the lists, it seems, so you have to create all the lists you want ahead of time, but that's pretty easy to do via the Reminders app.
[crarko adds: Sounds pretty handy.]
