Punctuation in dictation

When I’m dictating a message, Siri spells out the word “period” at the end of a sentence instead of the punctuation mark. I’m using the English US keyboard. How do I fix this?

The period. I dictate it. Siri used to put a period at the end of the sentence when I told her to. Now she spells it out. I don’t want to change my dictation habits or have her second guessing me. (I tend to write in elliptical sentences with lots of phrases set off by commas.)
