Ray, here's another hint. When you say period at the end of a sentence, make sure your speaking voice says it as a sentence and Siri will pick it up. The same is true when incerting a coma or a question mark. Make sure you are ending the sentence with a questioning voice and then say question mark. Lastly, remember that Siri is not a tape recorder and it's a good idea to frame what you want to ask or say before hand. When you start putting in ers, duhs, ums, and the rest, Siri will attempt to put those in as well leaving you frustrated with the results. However, with a bit of practice, you'll have her incerting question marks, periods and the like in no time.
