Disable autocorrect censorship

[Monochromatic]

My Samsung Galaxy S5 insists on correcting my profanity to "ducking", "shirty" etc. I'd like to disable this without turning off the autocorrect feature as a whole. I feel like this should be extremely straightforward, but every tutorial I seem to come across online is for a previous android operating system. I'm running lollipop.

Thanks in advance.

Not all issues will affect all models or firmware releases and your answers to the following questions will help in the forum's answers to your specific query.

#1. Could you post your Model number and Android version...

To locate these, go to...

Settings > More > About device > Model number and Android version

This will give you the model of Samsung Galaxy S5 that you have and which Android version you are on.


#2. Your current Firmware, (not just Baseband), version .

To locate your current firmware version, go to the stock, Samsung, dial pad and type in...

This will give you your, "Version", details in full, usually 3 lines of information, AP: CP: CSC:, which may all be relevant.

*** If code *#1234# has been disabled on your firmware, you can download and install, free from the Play Store, Phone INFO ★Samsung★ and it will give you, under Firmware Info... PDA, Baseband, CSC, versions.

For other readers... the OP has the Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A G901F, a.k.a. Galaxy S5 Plus, on carrier branded firmware for EE in the United Kingdom.

My advise would be to download and install, free from the Play Store, the excellent SwiftKey Keyboard which has, IMHO, a far superior and unfettered learning ability.
