As soon as my autocorrect is contaminated with spelling errors I’m doomed. For some reason when spelling a word wrong just twice or thrice it’s automatically added to the dictionary which is so stupid. So in reality it’s not me spelling it wrong because I’m ignorant, it’s because autocorrect does not actually correct me when I need it and it’s teaching me back my own mistakes. I have the same issue with the word “very” that I spell “verry” because it got into the dictionary once and I never knew it was wrong until much later and I had alread learned the muscle memory. Who was supposed to teach me anyway at this point. I’m far past school.
Just an FYI - if you’re on Android (and use Gboard) and you notice one of these mistakes, you can delete the bad suggestion.
For example, if you had spelled yoghurt and now it won’t stop, type in the letters for yoghurt until you see the suggestion above the keyboard. Press and hold the word “yoghurt” from the suggestions and drag it to the trashcan that appears to remove the suggestion.
How many spellings of yogurt do people need to make before we have enough?
yohghurht is clearly the correct spelling
I don’t know, you could maybe fit a few more silent H’s in if you stretch it a little bit.
Go full Lovecraft and spell it “yog-huurt”.

I’ve had to do this more than I care to think.
The isue is I’m not that good at spelling so I don’t know when to trust me or the keyboard. It’s too tedious.
