Language History of the Predictive Text Swearing

The impossibility to disable iPhone auto-correction for text input in unsupported languages is a royal, royal pain. It's like trying to swear every other word while the Predictive Text Swearing team is hard at work.

Sebastian:

You can disable it. Kb auto correct on Cydia.

Only via Cydia, exactly. Why do I need to spend time "jailbreaking" my phone in order to be able to type in a market where it was officially launched?

Don't get me wrong, I'm madly in love with the iPhone and I still think it's the greatest piece of design in recent history, but still—not supporting the language nor offering a simple way to disable the auto-correction—what the fuck were they thinking?

Frühjahr Design Agency posted an iPhone autocorrection petition:

"Hi Steve Jobs. We now updated to the new iPhone Firmware 2.1 and it definitely made things go much smoother! But we all still miss one feature: We’d like to be able to disable the annoying autocorrection! At the time it is really not Apple-like. Please let your developers make a simple switch button to turn autocorrection off (they propably will do that in 20 seconds, right?). Thank you very much!"
