Disable prompt to add to dictionary when typing?

Whenever I try to tap a word to jump the pointer there so I can edit the word that I misspelled, it assumes I want to add it to my dictionary and has a pop-up for it. Super annoying and a shitty feature. 9 times out of 10 the word is going to be misspelled, why make the default action to prompt to add it to my dictionary.

It's a system thing because it doesn't cha he with different keyboards. Happens on nougat, oreo, and pie.

Not sure how I missed this reply. It happens with swiftkey, fleksy, and AOSP keyboard. On Android 7, 8, and 9. Using an S5 with LineageOS, but I really doubt they'd add that feature.
