Changing Autocorrect - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've never felt the need to mess with autocorrect until now and I was wondering if it's possible. For example, if I type haha into a text message, it always brings up ha-ha. I know this is stupid and but for some reason it just annoys me. Is there any way to manage the preinstalled autocorrect words?
Thanks

Keyboard, is there a way to just have a regular one

with out the xT9 stuff or the others, just a straight up keyboard. I would really like that, I find the xT9 super distracting when typing an email or just a little text note or text message. I would really appreciate if someone can show me how. Cheers

Thank you soooooooo veryyyyyyyyyyy much

[Q] Disable autocomplete on space - Touch input

Hi, all
I'd really like to get rid of the auto-completion functionality when pressing space. I'd like to keep the suggestions, but use what I've typed unless i explicitly select one of them. Now when i press space after typing the whole word it changes it with the one from the dictionary, which is really annoying.
Disabling prediction worked, but there were also no suggestions, which I would like too keep.

Autocorrect tweak

Hey all, this isn't really gnex specific but I have a question about the stock jb keyboard: I'm really liking it and all, but having just come from iOS there's something that irks me a bit. Specifically while it does autocorrect on typing a space or punctuation, it doesn't do so when, for example, hitting send in the text message or email editor. This is annoying for me because I'd become used to that behaviour in iOS and now am sending off texts in which the last word is essentially gibberish...
Any way to change this in the stock keyboard? Alternatively, is there a different (and good) keyboard with this feature?
Cheers

Add a space at the end. It will not auto correct until it knows you are done with the word. What you are describing is predictive text and it does not "auto predict". It will predict and show words above the keyboard that you can choose, but that is all.

remove words from LG keyboard

Using the stock keyboard and I have a few ridiculous "words" that it has learned somehow. Any time I type out the word "not" using LG's path input (like swype) I get the word "nit". At no point have I ever typed it out manually or used this word. I've tried long-pressing the suggested word above the keyboard, looking in the custom word dictionary, etc and I can't find out how to get rid of these annoying "words". How do I remove them, or can I?

Go to settings, language & input, LG keyboard, additional settings, clear word suggestion history. Follow screen prompt.

colon punctuation in keyboard

I was wondering if there was a way to get more punctuation marks on the Google keyboard for Android Wear 2.0. I'm not seeing the colon, but I do see the semicolon punctuation.
Does anyone know how to get the colon to come up on the keyboard?
There isn't a way that I'm aware of. It's a bit of a pain not being able to use it.
I guess one option would be to use the handwriting mode, but personally I don't like that as much.
