iOS 11 update randomly capitalizes words

With the latest update my iPhone 6 randomly capitalizes words in the middle of a sentence. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi Schneidogg,

I understand that since updating your iPhone, random words will be capitalized. I'm happy to provide some help for this issue.

I recommend that you reset your keyboard dictionary and restart your iPhone:

Use international keyboards - iPhone User Guide

Reset your personal dictionary. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary. All custom words and shortcuts are deleted, and the keyboard dictionary returns to its default state.

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Cheers!
