Default Iphone Spell Check

I hate the spell check on my Iphone because it sometimes seems to just put anything it likes in.
It would also seem I'm not the only one:

I'm with you there.
I normally manage to catch the word changes though. The one that'll always get me however is the very last word of the text when I immediately hit send and realise it's put some completely different word!

One example: I tried to write "nooope" and it decided to put "nipple"!

My favourite from the website is "I broke my penis and it exploded all over my pants" class.

So many times i write a quick text and send it before checking it.....some of the messages make no sense

It is worse when texting my cousins in Italian though!!

+1.
predictive messaging is always annoying I find. I even hate it when the iphone autocaps the first letter in a sentence, it's only a blady text.

No problems like that on Android - the Dictionary/Spellcheck is lovely

In fact its so good that when the bug in the current hacked Gingerbread software that doesnt load the dictionary showed up I downgraded back to Froyo to get the Dictionary back.

It is frustrating on the iPhone.

For example if you type 'me'... it changes it to Mr... I mean how many times do you really type 'Mr', surely 'me' should be the standard word for that sequence.
