Auto-correct changes "love" to "live"

EDIT: Was not able to delete this question, so here is the answer: Text Replacement: Phrase "love" Shortcut "love"

How can I stop auto-correct from changing the word "love" to "live"?

iPhone 11 IOS 14.1

This is what I've tried with no success:

Text replacement: phrase "love" shortcut "lov" or "lo" or "love"
Auto-correction: turned off
Predictive: turned off
Reset keyboard dictionary

After each step, I force restarted my iphone.

Please, can anyone help! I use the word "love" so many times in the day and it's very annoying to always have to change "live" to "love" This is also happening on my husband's iphone 8 ios 14.1.

Do you three Text replacements for "lov" or "lo" or "love", text replacement is done only after you tap the space bar.

What do you see in the predictive texts? What language keyboards, do you use?
