Communicating with Siri

I say in dictation mode (fatalist) it prints out (play the list, ***, etc.

Is there anyway to get rid of that play the list command? I can’t even think of a reason I might use it especially in (Pages).

Better yet how do I suggests to Apple that those commands in Dictation aren’t really necessary. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Then if I’m asking Siri to do something like (Play the list) the command is there to be used where it would be appropriate, and not where all I’m doing is trying to get Siri to spell the word Fatalist, because my mind has taken a vacation.

iPad, iPadOS 16

Meanwhile, be sure to enunciate carefully.

Thanks, 😂 but

I enunciated Fatalist every which way I could think of. Note, yelling and cussing as I tried to achieve the perfect enunciation didn’t help.  🤷🏻‍♂️ The best I could get from it was when it broke what I was saying down to, Fatal List. I remember back in the day one of the dictation apps would provide phonetic suggestions to pick from. Evidently it wasn’t Apple’s dictation app.
