'Delete' not functioning properly

Delete function is not always working properly, most of the time. I say “delete”, and many times, no, you’re right, the word delete comes up. I say “delete ‘n’ words,” and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. It may not even do anything but sit idle. I try to speak as clearly as possible.

Hi Sawchmo,

The right command is delete last two words, delete last three words, up to delete last nine words.
