Seriously. I know when to use it's vs its. If I meant to type we're instead of were, I would have. Stop it!

I wish I could dial it back without turning it off completely.

    Some alternative keyboards allow displaying autocorrect suggestions without replacing the input automatically. If you're on Android and don't use swipe-typing, you can try some open-source keyboards, e.g. from this list. (Swipe-typing is still pretty bad in open-source; and idk how the situation is on iPhone.)

    Usually you can tell it not to autocorrect into certain words. I don't think any keyboard I know let's you filter for apostrophes.

    Edit: FUTO keyboard at least lets you dial it back.

    I really like futo keyboard and have been using it for months, but why the fuck does it think I want to type KYJREW when I was trying to type like? Who even put KYJREW in a dictionary?

    Remove it from suggestions?

    For me, the funny thing (not with futo, but something else) is that Finnish input dictionary seems to be.. let's say uncensored. I've removed a ton of words that I would never use. It still makes some interesting suggestions now and then
