I have no idea. Maybe because both of those keys are next to each other. T is next to y and x is next to c. (and lots of people make typos with these letters on a keyboard.

Good question. Is it an IPhone? If so, ask Siri.

Who knows for sure, maybe it is recognizing something from a previous text. On my samsung/android phone, when I write a word that the phone does not know there is a check mark. If I click on it, it allows my word and learns it for the furture.
