Yep, I turned it off within a day I think. For some reason it's annoying on OS X, but not on iOS.

You're more likely to mis-type something on iOS than OS X.
I leave it on all the time on all my devices. It makes the occasional error, and some of the substitutions are very interesting, weird, or funny.

Actually joking aside I do always leave it on as I'm an awful speller.

I wish there was an easy switch ... R>I have it on, but for texting I have a 3 second delay on sending the text to give me the opportunity to review the text (my thumb has a tendency to immediately hit send when I think I'm finished.

I had that issue the other day trying to translate something. Eventually it stopped trying to correct, and even removed the red line under the words. I guess either it stopped trying, or figured out I was trying to type spanish.
As for Auto-Correct itself, I leave it on. I tried it with it off and thats when I realized how crappy I type. Auto-Correct saves me more time than not. Plus I try to focus on what I'm typing, so I usually catch it when Auto-Correct screws up.
