> The iOS Autocorrect feature is notorious for being very aggressive in
> correcting certain words, particularly those words with colorful, offensive,
> or controversial meanings – basically any curse word. If you get fed up with
> autocorrects persistent mouth (finger?) soap, you can either use shortcuts to
> automatically replace the words that autocorrect struggles with, try to force
> learning with word repetition, or, perhaps easiest and new since iOS 7; use
> the excellent Safari Search trick outlined below to train autocorrect to stop
> correcting specific words, and to also learn new words:
>
> Open Safari in iOS (yes, the web browser) and open a new window / tab
> Tap in the topmost “Search” box and type the word you want autocorrect to
> stop correcting, then tap on “Go” to search for it
> Now go back to any text editor, Messages, etc, to type the originally
> intended word – no more autocorrecting it!
>
>
> This is extremely effective if you’ve been struggling with the iPhone / iPad
> autocorrecting certain names, or the many infamous curse word corrections of
> duckings, tucks, ducks, shots, ships, bass wholes, and all the rest. (excuse
> the language)
>
>
>
> If you put a typo into the Safari search box and now autocorrect is making
> things even worse, you can always start over again by resetting the entire
> autocorrect dictionary within iOS to the defaults, just keep in mind that
> everything autocorrect related will be cleared out and all of your typing
> corrections and learning will start from scratch with that approach.
>
> Overall this is probably a better trick than using the shortcuts method
> because it won’t clutter up the Keyboard Shortcuts and text expansion, which
> is better used as intended for quickly typing out things like email
> addresses, long names, and phrases.

> Heads up to Gizmodo for the excellent find!
