Adjust/personalize auto-correction on Android Using a Moto G Play with Android 7.1.1 installed. Whenever I type the word ie. (that is), this is auto-corrected to one of:

or.
IE.


The auto-correction selected appears to be random (perhaps based on context). I would like to tell my phone to NOT auto-correct ie under any circumstances. If I meant to type or and accidentally typed ie...that one is on me!

Is there any way to adjust auto-correction by manually entering personalised phrases (such as into a dictionary)? I don't want to turn auto-correct off entirely.
Add the word to your personal dictionary.If you are using Gboard:


Go to its settings then Dictionary.
Click on Personal dictionary
Select a language or All languages if you want to add the word for every language.
Click the + button.
On "Type a word", enter ie.. Press the arrow to go back to the previous screen. (You can enter a shortcut for the word if you want but with your word being so short I don't think it is necessary).


For now on ie. will appear when you type and will not be auto-corrected.
