There are some other related settings on that menu that you might want to consider changing, too. Under the All Keyboards option on the Keyboards menu, there is a “Smart Punctuation” option that will try to add and fix punctuation occasionally. You can turn that off as well if it’s giving your trouble.

In that same section is a setting called “Enable Dictation.” This controls the microphone that appears at the bottom-right corner of the keyboard. If you don’t use that and sometimes tap it by mistake, then you may want to turn it off as well.

If you scroll down on that menu you will find settings that are specific to the language keyboard you have on your device. For example, the English keyboard has options like:

• Auto-Capitalization
• Check Spelling
• Enable Caps Lock
• Predictive
• Slide to Type
• Delete Slide to Type By Word
• “.” Shortcut

Any of these options that cause you trouble can be turned off so that the iPhone keyboard won’t use them to fix things that you have typed on the keyboard.
