Google is starting to irritate me

I've been texting Mrs RC this afternoon, she is away and can't watch the hometown football game on her local TV. So I'm texting play by play to her. my android phone keeps autocorrecting "interception" to "intervention". Damn ai thinks that the Seahawks need an intervention?
It irritates my alcoholic mind. Grrr. First world problems, huh?
I hope your day is going well, one and all.

Yeah, I'm sure I wasn't the first to realize this.

I thought I had it turned off. I don't have any trouble with Seahawk interception, but I tried typing seattle and it auto-corrected to Seattle. But I noticed the next time I typed seattle (and before hitting the space bar or any other key) there was a checkmark symbol as one of the suggested replacements, and tapping on the checkmark symbol accepts seattle as-is (lower case). Its a Samsung Keyboard thing so YMMV.

At a quick look, I couldn't find any setting that would turn off autocorrect off or similar function.
