Default Question on voice dialing

So I have a 2015 after trading in my 2012. The car is great but one thing drives me nuts so maybe someone can help. When I press the button and say "Call Joe Smith" the car will say "Joe Smith, would you like to dial the number?" Well, yes, obviously. Is there a way to remove this useless step as it didn't exist in my 2012. It should just recognize "Joe Smith" and say, "Joe Smith, the number is being dialed." Anyone feel the same way and found a work around?

I believe this is to make sure the car heard you correctly...so you won't be embarrassed by dialing a wrong number.

There is a 40 step program so the computer learns how you speak. Highly suggest it.

I did that at the dealership, I will do it again but I think the newly added extra step is silly, it's like outgoing messages letting people know to leave your message after the beep.

There's a long voice dialog and a short voice dialog. You can change it in the settings under voice control. If you change it to short, there will be none of these extra questions.
