Hello,
When I write my surname text correction mistypes it every time I have to correct it again manually.
It is not in keyboard- text list.
It does in Textedit and Mail Programs.
Help!
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13
While in TextEdit, do you see a red underline when typing your surname correctly? If so, right or control click on the name and choose "Learn Spelling".

If it does then the name would have to be typed correctly in Contacts. Are you using any third-party spelling/grammar app?
You may have to contact Apple Support directly.

Normally there is as I mentioned before. What you could try is, add a nonsense 3 letter word to System Preferences > Keyboard > Text such as x3x with your surname spelled correctly. Then in TextEdit or Mail, type in x3x and your surname should replace the x3x when you type a space after it.
Have you tried adding it a a text swap?
Hello,
I don't see a red underline. I see a x mark little screen showing the wrong surname and if I press space it mistypes so I should click on the x button to stop him. I realized that if I only write my surname it does nothing. If I type my name and surname it changes. So I am suspicious about the names in the contacts list?
Any ideas?
Sorry, I don't have High Sierra installed any more so I have no way to test. Hopefully someone does and will have an idea.
Sorry I am on macOS Monterey, High Sierra was a mistake.
Anyways thanks for your time.
You're welcome. I asked that your thread be relocated.
Yes,
But I am typing it correct. So I type both text and text to correct as the same but still it changes the accented character. Annoying.

No I have no other 3rd party apps. And no the name is correct in Contacts I have checked.
