How to disable the annoying spell suggestions

Hi,

Any idea how to disable the spell check suggestions? It's annoying when you are typing in your native languages.

Thanks.

Regards,

To turn auto correct off:
1. Navigate to Settings -> General -> Keyboard
2. Touch Auto-Correction -> OFF

But this also turns off spell check at least on my ipad2.
I just want to turn off auto-correct

They go hand to hand. Is the same, if you don't autocorrect then your spelling don't change

I think what is desired is a user or customized dictionary. I have the same issue on certain words that are always corrected no matter how many times I dismiss the suggestion. Some words seem to take and others don't. Like 'Vulkano'. My system knows that word most of time now.

A Member found a workaround when he noticed that the iPad never corrects names from the Contacts app. So he suggested - and it works just fine - that any words you don't want to have autocorrected, simply enter them as 'spoof' contact entries - these might be technical or business terms, for example. Once they've been entered as 'contacts' the iPad will no longer try to correct them.
