Texting problem
When typing a text message some of the words keep getting changed to fruit or vegetables. I have turned off predictive text any ideas?

Hello there, richcoul75.
It sounds like you are having issues with Autocorrect reassigning fruits/vegetables to your text as you type in Messages. One thing that could be playing a role in this is shortcuts. The following link to the online iPhone User Guide provides information on where to locate this feature:
Save keystrokes - iPhone User Guide
Save keystrokes
A shortcut lets you enter a word or phrase by typing just a few characters. For example, type “omw” to enter “On my way!” That one’s already set up for you, but you can also add your own.
Create a shortcut. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard, then tap Text Replacement.
Have a word or phrase you use and don’t want it corrected? Create a shortcut, but leave the Shortcut field blank.
Use iCloud to keep your personal dictionary up to date on your other devices. Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on iCloud Drive or Documents & Data.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Kind Regards.
