“Fixing” iOS4 Auto-Correct
Just a couple of quick things for (finally) getting the iPhone to recognise some of the more colourful words in the English language:
- Settings > Keyboards > International Keyboards > Add New keyboard… > English (UK). Doesn't appear to change the layout at all, but stops the autocorrect from trying to put a 'z' in where an 's' should be.
- Settings > Keyboards > International Keyboards > Add New keyboard… > Chinese – Simplified (Pinyin). Once you've put this, or certain other keyboards (appears to be ones that use different characters), you will then see a new option under Settings > Keyboards called … wait for it … Edit User Dictionary…
Finally, my iPhone can realise the glory of a correctly spelled fuck.
Props to user modular747 on the Apple Support forums for the (crazy) steps required for Edit User Dictionary.

Very cool, but this still doesn’t seem to work for the word “hell”, which I happen to use more than other words. Any trick for this one? Thanks!!
Yeah, I have “hell” in the autocorrect, but it still insist’s on “he’ll” every time. Baby steps … maybe one day the autocorrect will be “fully functional”
