AUTO-MISCORRECTION

In Gmail, I typed "WAG-work" (without quotation marks), as an abbreviation for "wild-ass guesswork". The Swype + Dragon keyboard instantly converted it to "SELf-esteem", offering me no chance to save it: I had to erase the word and try again. I tried this two more times in Gmail and again in ColorNote, with the same result every time.

And while I was adding this note to an event in Google Calendar on the phone, something similar happened to my memo title AUTO-MISCORRECTION.

This bug should be fixed as soon as possible.

(AND THAT'S NOT ALL)
I wrote the above on Feb. 8. Just now, Feb. 10, 11:16 a.m., the identical thing happened with another hyphenation in Gmail. I typed "x-" one character at a time and then Swyped "post", meaning to write "x-post" as an abbreviation for "cross-post". That immediately became "S-6Past", which isn't even in my dictionary, though "S-6" is.
