There seems to be no need to lose all the previous correct spelling changes, just to undo a single bad change.
In the case that prompted me to ask this question, the word was "ith" (should have been "with", but the "w" was consistently missing) and it autocorrected to "it". Not an easy one to reverse -- "it" is a much more common word than "yyy"!
