My predictive text has developed a very annoying habit of replacing we with W.E for some strange reason. Given that we is a pretty common word and that W.E has no obvious meaning I can’t understand why it would do this. Any ideas?
No idea why either, but resetting your keyboard dictionary should fix it.My predictive text has developed a very annoying habit of replacing we with W.E for some strange reason.

Thanks for the suggestion. Did a keyboard reset but still got the issue....No idea why either, but resetting your keyboard dictionary should fix it.
Settings—>General—>Reset—>Reset Keyboard Dictionary.
I use the Text Replacement feature for these scenarios. Whenever I tried to type “the” it would be replaced with “RJ” for some reason, drove me crazy. Using Text Replacement, I told iOS to interpret a few misspellings of “the” and then the term “RJ” as specifically “the” and I haven’t had a problem since.

Thank you for this. Apologies if this sounds a bit dumb but could you explain how the text replacement feature works please...

This feature allows you to override predictive text and assign a word for another word.
So...go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement and hit the plus sign.
Set "W.E" as the Shortcut and "we" as the Phrase. And set "we" as the Shortcut and "we" as the phrase. What you're telling the iPhone is that if it sees "W.E" it should ignore that input and type "we" instead. That should do it.
