Has anyone else noticed the grammar issues in Siri responses? Asking her to turn on the Dining room lights, and her response is Ok, the light are on..

I am hoping this fix clears that up..

Should Siri be able to tell me what software version I'm running, or am I being lazy 🤪

Right after stating that the light turns on....

Same. It’s been really frustrating trying to do some basic things with four HomePods in the apartment.
