When dictating a text message, I say the punctuation marks in the places where I want them to appear: colin/comma/question mark/exclamation point/fullstop, etc. aside: I had to write those in words because if I just put inn the p mark, Jaws doesn't read them. When Siri reads back the message before sending it, he doesn't read out the punctuation marks, but you know by his voice that he has inserted them in the correct places.

First, what do those speaking British English call the punctuation mark period. I’m using the Austrailian Siri voice in order to get rid of the voice mail transcription stuff. When I use Siri to dictate a text she always uses the word “period” but I’m not sure she puts the actual punctuation at the end of the sentence. Next off the wall question. I generally don’t carry my phone in a pocket, but am considering doing that more. I notice that when it’s in my pocket it gets somewhat warm. Is this normal? Does this cause the battery to drain faster? Just wondering. Thanks as always for all the helpful information received from this group. God bless!
