IOS 5.0.1 how to close auto-correct

Hi,
I have an iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.0.1 (update).
Can the auto-correct function be closed, and spell check still be accessed at will?
The Apple auto-correct function is quite absurd and very unfriendly to me when sending text messages and making notes.
It makes the most stupid and irrelevant corrections to properly structured and written sentences.
My time writing text is greatly extended due to this most unhelpful and very inefficient program.
Any help would be most welcome, thank you.

Curious Pig,
Thank you kindly for a very helpful and most welcome answer.
Auto-Correct will no longer be a trouble to me.

  • How to edit auto correct in mail

    After some use Mail auto correct dictionaty gets occassinally confused with custom words. I would like to know how do I locate and edit the custom dictionary.

    Same problem here too.  Maybe it happened with last update, did not seem to happen before.  Also, all my online mail boxes have this going on...
    message -> move to -> archive -> online name (all mail)
    with these exceptions.  My msn and yahoo accounts do not show at all and my 'on my mac' shows twice, once at the top and once at the bottom.  I think all 3 of these are pop3 accounts, if that makes a difference....
    Another weird thing is my msn account does not not show in the dropdown of 'move to' or 'copy to'

  • How do I auto-correct "i" to a capital "I" in Mail

    When typing in a Mail message, I want to auto-correct "i" to a capitalised "I".  Auto-correct won't allow this as it keeps telling me "The original text must contain at least two characters"
    Anyone have any ideas of a way around this?
    Thanks
    Stewart

    Thanks Arthur, you are very helpful.
    I was hoping that there was a way in the system to do it.  It just seems crazy that something so simple can't be achieved with the sophistication that we call Apple.
    Does Apple ever look in here ?

  • How to turn auto-correction the opposit way?

    The auto-correction Works the way that I as a user has to recject the suggestion from the system, if not, the suggestion will be put into mytext.  This is really anoying and completeley unlogical to me.  It should be the way that I should actively chose the suggestion, if not, my own text should be prefered.  Is there a way to turn this upside down the way that the system's suggestion only reamin as a suggestion until I actively chose it?  In case not, why not?

    to do that you need to go back to Pages 4

  • Greek Spell Check and Auto-Correction

    Hi, I want to know if I can add a Greek dictionary that will have the same features as the English Language has on Lion.
    Why Apple didn't integrate such a simple thing. To make every user from different places in the world to have the convenience of Auto-Correction they have on iOS on OS X too. Greek Auto-Correction exist on iOS why not on Lion?
