problem using the apostrophe in certain words

[woopypants]

Hello, I love this keyboard but and am having trouble with 2 things...

1. while in t9 mode, if I want to type the word "fog's" it comes up as "dog's". When I try to type the word 'fog' it comes up as dog, so I press the arrow button next on the right of the space bar so the word 'fog' is chosen, then I type the ' button and then the letter s, and it keeps changing fog back to dog! Can u please help me with this?

2. Also, when I type the word hello, the first word that appears in the suggestion bar is 'gdjjm' is there a way to remove this word as I know I will never use it and it takes up room on my screen?

thanks

1. Have you tried adding fog's to the User Dictionary?

2. Check the User Dictionary for the word gdjjm. It's possible you accidentally entered that jumble of letters as a word to the User Dictionary while typing fast or something. I've done that - especially if I have Learn New Words enabled.

hi nick, thanks for your reply.

i was just using the words "fog's" and "hello" as an example.

as for problem number one, i could be typing anyword and then when i want to add the "'s" (after selecting the word from the suggestion bar which is not the first suggested word) and as soon has i press apostrophe and s, it reverts the word back to the first suggested word. so there is not really any point to adding 'fog's to the dictionary as i rarely use that word, it was just one i was using as an example, and i was hoping there was an easier way of doing it rather than adding it to the user dictionary.

and with problem number 2, i tried turning off 'learn new words' as i thought it might get rid of the suggestion to the left of the first highlighted word in the suggestion bar, but its still there. i dont know if i have explained it properly but when u type the word EXAMPLE, do u get the letters DWAMPJD displayed to the left in the suggestion bar? i would like to know if there is somehow i can remove that first weird suggested word.

anyway thanks for replying to my question

I agree with the thread starter. there are many words that sometimes uses the apostrophe and "s" along with it. For me i use it often with names. And i encounter this problem as well.

for eg: i have a friend whose name is "Andrielle". it's a custom name, so whenever i type the apostrophe after this name, the whole entry reverts to "Amdpgdjjd' ". quite frustrating.

I see what you are saying. Pressing the apostrophe or dash changes the word to whatever is on the left, even though that is not the default auto-corrected word.

Same issue, and same question as the thread starter.

An easy solution is to just turn the phone and go into full Qwerty mode when you're typing a complex word. another option is to type the name/word, press space then backspace, then 's. when you backspace into a word it turns off the auto-suggest. I know those aren't solutions to the problem, but a good work around.
