This isn’t a text replacement things but an apple thing, likely with one of the 14.x updates.


To work around it (which we shouldn’t have to) you need to put in to the text replacement the word “and” to be replaced with “and”.


this is 100% an issue with the local dictionary, similar to how the devices screwed up the phone numbers after a 14.x update.
