I had to delete two apps today because autocorrect. Changes 20 to 2.0 and 50 to 5-0

Evidently, autocorrect uses app names as part of its "dictionary".

The best solution was to just delete the apps.

IF they were important apps, you could in theory ... you know what?

They can change the app name while waiting for apple to fix this "feature".

My devices work for ME, I don't work for them.

How do I stop ios from using my app names in autocorrect. I have an app named "tc 2.0" which is for an alarm system. ios takes all app names and uses them as part of autocorrect in a way where you cant turn it off. Now, every time I type 20, my phone changes it to "2.0". i have tried adding "20" to my keyboard phrases to no avail. any ideas?
