Here's How To Make Your iPhone Stop Changing "Fuck" To "Duck"
I wish I ducking knew about this sooner.
We've all been there...you're trying to text that vulgar little "F" word (only during appropriate situations, of course) when your phone autocorrects the word to: "DUCK."

And, OK, maybe Dave Stopera already told us how to fix this four years ago – but I honestly never gave it a Google, so I was still having the "ducking" problem...
...and it looks like a lot of Twitter users are as well (IN 2018).
So – if you're still reading this – then you, too, missed the 2014 "Ducking" BuzzFeed article. Here's how you fix it:

First, open 'Settings' and then click 'General.'

From there click on 'Keyboard.'

Next go to 'Text Replacement.'
Torres / BuzzFeed
Click the little plus sign in the upper right-hand corner.
Torres / BuzzFeed
Enter "fuck" into the 'Phrase' space and then enter "duck" into the 'Shortcut' space.

Note: You need to do this separately for "ducking" and "fucking," too.
And voilà! Your phone will never autocorrect to "duck" again...
Torres / BuzzFeed
Just be careful with it!
