When I type the word &#8220;the&#8221; it automatically replaces it with &#8220;The&#8221; even when the word is not the first word in a sentence.  No matter how many times I try to correct it, auto-correct keeps doing the same thing.  It&#8217;s annoying and I want it to stop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could turn off auto-correct but I really don&#8217;t want to lose that feature.  Instead, I want to remove what it is doing wrong.  Unfortunately, on the iPhone, there is no way to erase a single auto-correct entry that is wrong.  You have to reset your entire keyboard dictionary.  I sort of hate to do that but if auto-correct types &#8220;The&#8221; instead of &#8220;the&#8221; one more time, I may be tossing my phone into the canal behind our home and letting the gator have it for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5386-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"An alligator in the canal behind our house.\" class=\"wp-image-4028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5386-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5386-scaled-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5386-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5386-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5386-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5386-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let&#8217;s look at how to reset the keyboard dictionary on an iPhone and then we&#8217;ll look at an Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, go to &#8220;Settings.&#8221;
