I've been reading how the new 3.0 OS has been a little less lenient on the auto-correction. I'm not sure if other people are encountering this problem, but I'm experiencing an extremely annoying problem. Whenever I type the letters "im" it automatically corrects it to "IM" in all capitals. Not "I'm" or "i'm", and I cannot even figure out how to NOT automatically correct it to just leave it how it is. Has anybody found a work-around for this? It's absolutely ridiculously annoying and is enough for me to just turn off auto-correct (even though I really find it useful at other times).
 
I don't expirence that, however you can reset your Keyboard Dictionary

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Keyboard Dictionary.
 
I've reset my dictionary and everything. It still insists on correcting it, no matter how many times I tell it not to...
 
Solved it! In case anybody else has a problem like this, I had a contact with the last name set as IM. So this means that the new 3.0 OS adds contact names to the dictionary automatically.
