Also, if you misspell a certain word frequently enough, the predictive text algorithm will learn that typo, and it may begin \u201cfixing\u201d correct instances of a word or term when you don\u2019t want it to.<\/p>\n<p>There are some advanced remedies for auto-correction woes, such as attempting to retrain the algorithm or adding custom shortcuts, but sometimes the easiest way to deal with auto-correct is to turn it off completely.
