Not OP, but my iPhone autocorrect does the same thing to Dupont.

Yeah the autocorrect drives me crazy with this.

Well then it will eventually correct all the city bureaucrats and we should just switch now. DuPont.

It really is quite arbitrary, since it’s named for the same Du Pont as DuPont. We should change it back and stop picking on this, as much as it makes me cringe for no good reason.

I feel like if there were ever some sort of welcome packet for whenever people move into DC, updating your phone's autocorrect would be in the top 5 tips.

In Settings, create a text replacement. Use “Dupont” for the phrase and “DuPont” as the shortcut.

If you have a Mac, I believe any spellings you tell it to learn do sync to iOS, but there’s no interface for it that I know of on the phone.
