Why can’t autocorrect accept the word ”with”?

Every time I type the word “with” autocorrect changes it to “either way.” It’s driving me crazy. Same with the word “for.” It prefers the word “fir.” I’ve typed the words correctly. It isn’t until I’ve hit send that I notice it changing my text. How do I override this please? It’s been happening about 6 months at least!

If "with" always gets that, I'd wonder if "with" is already in your text replacement shortcuts:

Settings > General > Keyboards > Text Replacement


Have you tried resetting the autocorrupt dictionary?

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary


But I've usually just disabled fully-automatic autocorruption, and restrict it to offering suggestions:

Settings > General > Keyboard > Auto-Correction > Off
