Spell Check Woes!

[AC Question]

Out of nowhere, my spell check is messed up... lots of normal words are no longer there that were before, and strange words have appeared. For instance, "don't" corrects to "dong". Some words look foriegn or just obscure. But plenty of normal English words are still there too... just many are missing. I checked the settings, and everything seems to be in order. ???

I have an old LG Lucid.

Can't speak to LG Lucid, but most phones have a predictive text feature with personalized recommendations. So you most likely typed dong sometime in the past. Usually there is a setting within the keyboard to clear user dictionary, personal language data, etc. Just have to dig for it in your keyboard settings. Alternatively you could clear the app data from your keyboard app in Application Manager, or install a 3rd party keyboard like SwiftKey, which is pretty good at text prediction.
