Home Assistant Cloud speech-to-text sometimes breaks cardinal directions #126369

The problem

I have a number of lights that have a name with a cardinal direction because sometimes that makes the most sense for the position of a light in an area.

I've found that HA Cloud's speech-to-text engine sometimes converts north/south/east/west to N/S/E/W, which causes Assist to not recognize the device I'm talking about. It's annoying and I usually end up asking Google Assistant to do it.

For example, when I tell Assist to "Set kitchen west to 50%", it's recognized as "set kitchen W to 50%" and responds "Sorry, I couldn't understand that".

However, if I say "Turn off kitchen west", it's recognized correctly and turns off the light.

Sorry if this isn't the right place. I couldn't find a better place to report bugs that are on the cloud side of HA Cloud rather than Core or an integration.
