Quick path often replaces "the" with "there". I entered the same two sentence below using Quick path and SwiftKey.
Quick path (got them wrong)
There is the words I always use to start a sentence.
Why can’t Quicken path figure out that the words there is not the word there?
SwiftKey (got them right)
The is the word I always use to start a sentence.
Why can't Quick path figure out that the word the is not the word there?
The restart did help. After the restart it continued to use “there” then it switched to “thee”. I kept manually correcting the word to “the” and repeating the phrase and after a few more corrections it got the phrase right. When I entered the phrases above it got them both right. I don’t know what’s going on in the background but it seems that resetting the phone and then correcting the words the first few times it entered them wrong, has resolved the issue.
