    Default Autocorrect nightmare!

    Hi all,

    I've tried a site search and a Google search, but I still have no solution to this problem.

    For some reason, my iPhone (3Gs, 4.1 and Jailbroken) has started autocorrecting "in" to "I'n". It never used to do it and is driving me mad, almost literally! As the words are so short, it won't 'learn' and I can't find out how to delete this autocorrect entry. Do any of you know how I can fix this?

    Many thanks.

    Andy

    It will erase all your dictionary entries but will get rid of the annoyance

    Thanks Stealth, worked a treat. Do you have any idea where it came from? I've noticed the "I'n" thing on here a few times, seems to be an App that's adding it somehow?

    Do you know if you keep mispelling the word. I know if I keep retyping a word it will save on my phone.

    ^ exactly

    If you bypass the autocorrect of a misspelling a couple times it will save to the dictionary

    I think that only works for words over 3 letters? Even if it doesn't, it's very hard to mis-spell 'in'.

    Yeah that's true but when I'm typing really fast I always spell something wrong. Or do you let anybody play with your phone.
