This was fixed in one of the recent iOS versions. Works consistently for me without any text replacements.

True, but since then Ill continue to be frustrated that it cant do apostrophes automatically. It used to!

I'll have to look into that. It still won't let me use the F word, for example. It'll give me pretty much any other possible word as an alternative, no matter how hard I try. But this may be because I do most of my regular typing by swiping. I see that I can type in 'fuck' manually and it won't try to replace it.

I'm right at the edge of turning off autocorrect altogether, just because it has a habit of changing previous words, not just the one I'm typing. If I only ever talked with very generic English this might be okay, but when I'm using subject matter lingo it fails utterly and becomes a tremendous nuisance to try and convince it to leave that text alone. Sometimes even deleting the correction and re-typing what you want doesn't stop the behavior.
