Getting a Period in a Sentence:
Do you use a UK English keyboard? If so, say "full stop" to get a ".". Try it whether you do or don't. Report back if that works. Source: Siri won't take the "period" dictation command - Apple Community
I use US English keyboard, so that didn’t help.
Worse, it’s inconsistent. Sometimes spells it out, sometimes gives me the dot!
“Period” versus “.” in Message.
