    Auto Correct question maybe for Ask Paul

    Auto Correct is giving me fits. I type a word and have moved on to type in the next word, only to later send a text or email with grammatical errors, as it changed words, thinking what it thought as correct. It seems like my SwiftKey auto correct is going crazy, and word predicting berserk. Examples: 'they' became 'there' & in another text 'not' became 'it'. This phone is only 3 weeks old, but, up until 2 days ago errors were practically never. My phone when it was "quote un quote" learning my verbage and new, was such a joy to use. Curious if I am the only one with Auto Correct problems.
