Sir,
Use of "him" for "she" is a pronoun issue here. ;)

Well Ninja is using the modifier to refer Siri, so she is Siri.

Last time when she was in Mexico, (ask who) Siri!!!

Haha! Yes, it should be clear from the modifier that Siri is "she", but I suppose it could be clearer.

Also, in my original sentence, "he" had no referent. But we all know which guy we're talking about, given the topic of this thread. But in order to pay proper respects to Bunuel, perhaps the pronoun should be capitalized.

With those two issues in mind, how about this instead:

    Last time Siri was in Mexico City, she asked Him for directions.

Better? :-D :cool:

Sir
It seems that last sentence is run-on sentence! Could you clarify it, please?
Did you use "last time......" as initial modifier?
Thanks__

Bunuel is the Godfather of Mathematicians! He is one of the GMAT Gods. His brain is a complex machine that churns numbers faster than the computer and he is currently in the middle of starting his own testing examination called BunuelMAT! :cool:

Bunuel is the Sun of Gmatclub's solar system. Omnipresent...!!!
Even if its dark night he/she is still there..

He/she is such a force that Plutos(GMAT aspirants) like us keep coming to take his/her blessings.. :)

And finally Capital letters came into existence to pay homage to the legend called Bunuel

Bunuel now has his very own Google "featured snippet"! That's really impressive. Almost as impressive as the fact that werewolves are jealous of his beard. ;)

Considering the issues with the online GMAT, can we just have Bunuel take our exam for us? I'm pretty sure he'd do just as well without having to write on something.
