Dictation/Siri Auto Formatting Numbers

Does anyone know a way to turn off the auto formating of numbers when using dictation/siri.

Whenever I speak a 7 digit number or higher 1234567. Siri automaticly adds a dash 123-4567.

How can I turn this off?

I turned off all the auto correction settings for the keyboard the auto formating still continues.

Thanks

Say the word "numeral" immediately followed by your unpaused speaking of the number string.

The side effect of this is that Voice Control now puts numbers adjacent to every menu item and telling it to hide numbers works for a second, and then they immediately return. You will likely have to quit Voice Control to remove this unwanted collateral annoyance.
