I assume you type most of your messages on a phone and are afflicted with predictive typing. It seems you need either a smarter or a dumber phone.  ("very could" has to be a very rare bigram!)

I usually am able to understand what you must have meant, but sometimes it is a challenge.

[The earliest (late 1970s) autocorrection that I experienced was DWIM (Do What I Mean) in Xerox Interlisp, but I see it dates back to 1966.  It seemed a good idea, when I first saw it, but it generally didn't work out as well as expected.  50 years later, IMO, autocorrection & predictive typing is still debatable as to its utility.]
