Why is Google voice to text changing the punctuation, "!" to "exclamation point"??

I will NEVER use voice to text to say, "exclamation point". I'm always wanting the punctuation. This just randomly started happening and I don't know how to fix this. I've also had the punctuation, "," actually changed to, "comma" or even "Kama"! What the hell is, "Kama"?? I only have the English language selected. Is there any way to correct this problem? I have a Galaxy S7 Edge with the latest updates and I use voice to text constantly.

Try using Exclamation Mark instead of Point.

Try saying exclamation mark or comma immediately after your last word. If you wait too long it seems to spell out the word.
