Well, I'm a firm believer in correcting my own errors even if doing so points out total idiocy on my part. I just realized that when I posted to Dana about checking her rotor punctuation setting because having it on All could cause dictation to spell out the word period rather than placing a dot for a period was absolute lunacy. What I thought was the spelled out punctuation was simply Voiceover speaking the period punctuation mark as it does when punctuation is set to all. Yeah, very stupid so I wanted to set the record straight. I'm glad Dana figured out that the culprit was her UK keyboard setting so I'm hoping no one paid any attention to my post.
Alan Lemly Dana, Go to your rotor and see what your Punctuation setting is. I tested this and if Punctuation is set to All, periods are entered as a word instead of as a dot when dictating. You should probably set your rotor punctuation as Some to avoid this issue. Let us know if this fixes the problem and good luck.

Every other punctuation mark I write works perfectly, however periods always end up not being a punctuation mark but the actual littoral word does anyone have a solution or know why this would do this?
