For some reason ios11 now changes EVERY 'is' to I.S.

really great.

dismissing the 'suggestion' more than 3 times (as per the apparent guidelines) does NOT remove it. Resetting the dictionary doesn't remove it. What a POS ios can be sometimes. Any way to edit dictionary entries? Anyone else having Jihadi interference or similar in ios11?

started in the last 48hrs it seems. never been an issue before...

its system wide.

Any app. Imessage, notes, any text that includes the word 'is' now flips to 'I.S'

This I.S infuriating... not restricted to apps, I’ve written this message on the STW mobile site via safari on the device to check. Same behaviour. Weird.

Like most, I'm not in the habit of discussing islamic terrorism either, and when i have-possibly only once that i can even remember- i would probably chose the word 'ISIS' not 'I.S'..

as i mentioned in the original post..

Resetting the dictionary doesn't remove it.

What dictionaries have you got selected?

If you remove one does the behaviour change?

Just checked and it DAESH working fine on mine.

I reckon it DAESH something in your settings, though I can think what it DAESH.

can you override it by creating a text replacement so it replaces "is" with "is"?

My iPhone does it too. Think it might be because I’m a terrorist though.

UPDATE: my phone has successfully been reclaimed from I.S

After clearing the dictionary 5 times to no avail, a restart did the trick.

I'm going to try turning Syria off and on again then look out for my Nobel Peace Prize in the post.

presumably clearing the dictionary once & restarting would also have worked? 🙂

You mean turn it off and back on again wasn't your first step?

How did you even survive the 20th century, let alone the last 17 years?

true, true. I chose the western approach- if at first you don't succeed try again/bomb another country into the stone age.
