Manually re-train the keyboard (important)

This often works by itself.

  1. Type and (don’t slide—tap it)
  2. When Andy appears as a suggestion:
    • Ignore it
    • If and appears in quotes or lower in suggestions, tap and
  1. Repeat this 10–15 times

This pushes “and” back to the top of the prediction model.
