Predictive Text Suggests Nonsense or Words I’ve Never Used

Sometimes when I am typing into a text or Safari etc., predictive text will suggest words that aren’t even words. I haven’t used those words in accident before, or even been sent to me by someone else. I have not looked them up on the internet or any of the things that predictive text is supposed to be based on. Sometimes when I have entered a word, it suggests a misspelling of the word which is even worse because if I see the suggestion and I assume that I have spelled the word incorrectly I accidentally change it to the wrong spelling. Why would it even suggest a misspelling when I entered it correctly? I like using predictive text because it will correct words that I didn’t notice I entered incorrectly. But, the issue I am describing is incredibly frustrating and sometimes confusing. When will this issue be fixed? Please don’t reply to tell me that I need to reset my dictionaries or languages, or that it’s based on my use. I have already been through those suggested solutions and they don’t work. Also, please do not reply with instructions to turn off predictive text. That is not a solution to predictive text not behaving usefully or correctly. If anyone else knows a solution please post it. Thank you.
