Dictation gone crazy since update

Some of the voice commands no longer work such as "numeral 1", it types out "numeral one" instead of "1" like it did before.

Anyone know what the new command is for that?

When I need to go back and edit something the cursor jumps back to where I left it instead of going to the new place, and it takes several tries to get it to stay where I want it.

And last but not least, when the microphone turns off if I pause for too long, it inserts a tab?!

I don't know where to complain about this to Apple, any suggestions?

I don't think there is a new command; I think it's just broken. I just tried it with the keyboard dictation and noticed that as well. It also happens with the Roman numeral command. Normally I use voice control's dictation rather than general dictation, and I can confirm the same thing happens there too. I've also noticed that dictation either ignores when you say "hyphen" or inserts a dash instead. Someone was messing around in those commands pretty well.
