How to stop iPhone correcting UK to I'm

[joe8232]

Does anyone else have the problem where their iPhone keeps correcting uk to i'm - this is particularly annoying when typing web addresses. Is there a way to add words to a list that will not get auto-corrected? Also get it with st (I live in St. Andrews) which it corrects to at. Very annoying.

I think that if you refuse a specific auto-correction about 5 times, by pressing the bubble each time before accepting it, it will stop doing it after that.

the iphone has a "smart" dictionary so if you keep typing words and x-ing the recommendations it will learn your words.

BTW, if you're typing 'uk' in URLs as part of '.co.uk', hold down on the '.com' button and it'll offer a shortcut to '.co.uk', assuming your keyboard is set to UK English. If you can't solve a problem, find a way around it

I didn't know this and I thought I had worked out all the little shortcuts. Thanks!

I've typed .co.uk millions of times and clicked the x bubble but it continues to correct it to I'm.

the .com button is not always present when typing in email addresses in forms etc.

I agree that the .co.uk is quite handy but I also type .ac.uk quite a bit but sadly apple doesn't let you customize the shortcut options

This annoys me too, I've been refusing the auto suggestion since the phone came out and it still hasn't stopped doing it!

Jailbreak plus the appropriate package can turn off auto correct.

I have this problem. I don't want to turn off auto correct completely, I just wish this function people say was true, but it never seems to remember when I press the x.
