Is it just me or has the iPhone recently been autocorrecting simple words into proper names?

For example: when I accidentally type "luke" (meaning to type "like") my phone now autocorrects it to a proper Luke, instead of correcting it to like. I don't know any Lukes so I'm not really sure why it's autocorrecting to that.

Also, I've noticed that since I updated my phone to the 4.0 update, it no longer corrects the way it used to. It autocorrects misspelled words to words that aren't even real words. Also, some words it doesnt even attempt to correct at all. And it's much harder to manipulate the dictionary.

This is all very frustrating! Any suggestions?
