The only thing I really want is a keyboard that doesn't think I'm trying to type "Ava" all the time I'm typing "and". Dictionary removal would be just great. I don't ever intend to type "Ava". It has been my intention exactly Zero times.

I get the same with SwiftKey, it tries to replace "my" with "NY", which I never ever mean. FUTO has a blacklist, at least. I'm going to switch back to Android just for the keyboards.

That and 'Mr' when I try to type 'me.' It's so frustrating. If I ever mean to type either Mr or NY, I'll do it myself!

Do you by chance have a contact named Ava in your address book? If so you can try changing their name, or disabling the option to provide auto complete suggestions from your address book

No. I know nobody with that name. The only time it is in my record is the dozens of times the phone wrongly guessed that's what I was trying to do and I sent it.

Just a slight, tiny, grammatical parser would fix this. Nothing heavy. Just a look behind parser
