To begin with, I've tried in futility to search everywhere else on the internet to fix this, so I'm asking here now.
I have a Nexus 4 running Android 4.4. Sometime within the past year, DONT
started appearing as a word in my autocorrect options. IIRC, it began appearing immediately after an OS upgrade (I'm thinking the 4.3 release).
Screenshot:
I do not have DONT
in any user dictionaries on the device. I have exhaustively searched all user-level language/dictionary settings and cannot find this anywhere. It's really annoying because it takes over the default correction of don't
, so I just end up looking stupid.
(Here is my personal dictionary listing [one item redacted]):
If DONT
were here it would be between Catan
and Dropbox
Is there some other/hidden location where dictionary/replacement text gets stored? And/or does anybody have another suggestion for how to get this stupid word removed from my device?
Answer
I fixed it! The trick was to clear the cache and data for Google Keyboard.
Settings => Apps => ALL* => Google Keyboard => {Clear Data, Clear Cache}
* Be sure to go to ALL
instead of RUNNING
. The instance under RUNNING
will not give you the correct data clearing options.
