I don't trust iPhone or iPad auto-correct...

Do you know how many times either device made me sound foolish by sending "What the duck?" or "This is ducking ridiculous!" :)

I guess that does seem a backwards to me, probably because I don't type all that much on my iPod touch. My inclination has been to wish there was an option for the autocorrection to be a little less auto, offering a suggestion but assuming I meant what I typed and requiring me to explicitly accept the correction. If I did more text entry on the device, though, I could see myself coming around on the matter.

When I try to type quickly not even the iPhone knows what the hell I meant to write. :)

And that doesn't help for words it doesn't know. Turning auto-correct off might actually be a good idea for me. I'll have to try it and see if I like it any better.
