I wonder if Dragon Speak uses the same list of words that you gave at the
end of your message, or similar ones.
But it seems to me, one would think it would be better to just say, "erase
last word," or "delete that last sentence," instead of using a baseball
term.

Use dictation to talk instead of type on your PC
Use dictation to convert spoken words into text anywhere on your PC with
the
Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
To start dictating, select a text field and press the Windows logo key +
H
to open the dictation toolbar. Then say whatever's on your mind.
If you're using a tablet or a touchscreen, tap the microphone button on
the
touch keyboard to start dictating. Tap it again to stop dictation.
You can also stop dictating at any time by saying "stop dictation."
Note
Dictation is available in US English only. To use it, your PC needs to be
connected to the internet.
To dictate in other languages, use
Windows Speech Recognition.
