Google Home / Assistant / Reminder = one word only, rest of reminder lost

[ColinK]

I am really fed up with Reminders recording only one word of my reminder.

If I say "Ok Google at 10am Remind me to message John about car    

If I leave a tiny gap (milliseconds gap as anyone would do when speaking) the reminder becomes "Message" John about car    is completely ignored.

So at 10am I am trying to remember who I need to message and what to message about.

This is a common issue that occurs several times every week.

Issue applies to Google Home Mini, Google Display, Third party google home display

Can Google fix this?

Can anything be done about this really annoying issue where Google Assistant stops listening to instructions when I pause for a few milliseconds - natural speech pause?

Every few days I get google  reminders. Today "phone about" - phone about what?

This is a constant issue, which cannot be unique to my multiple Google Home / Assistant products.

Any reminder I leave, if I pause for less than half a second the reminder only saves the words up to the pause.

I am sure it is easy to replicate

Try reminders like 

remind me to get .. some milk

remind me to call john about .. (anything)
