The phrase "似的" is correctly pronounced as "shìde" (with a retroflex "sh" sound) in Mandarin. However, Microsoft Pinyin IME currently requires typing "side" (using an alveolar "s" instead of "sh") to generate "似的," which is an obvious pinyin input error. This inconsistency should be corrected to align with standard pronunciation rules.

I'm Femi, an independent advisor here to assist you.
I understand how frustrating it can be when the input method doesn't align with standard pronunciation.
Based on your feedback and the images provided, it looks like the Microsoft Pinyin IME currently requires "side" instead of the correct "shide" for "似的." This does seem inconsistent with standard pinyin rules.
I recommend submitting this as feedback to Microsoft so the IME team can review and improve the input experience. You can do this by:
Pressing Windows + F to open the Feedback Hub.
Selecting Input and Language as the category.
Describing the issue and attaching relevant screenshots.
This will help Microsoft prioritize fixes in future updates. Let me know if you need any help with the process.

I cannot locate the Feedback Hub in Windows, possibly because I uninstalled it previously. I tried reinstalling it but failed. What alternative methods can I use to submit feedback to Microsoft?
