Writing an email on your iPhone or iPod touch with a lot of jargon or phrases that may not be in a dictionary? Writing out a text in another language? Here’s how you can prevent the overbearing auto-correct feature from slowing you down too much.
Several sources have found that by typing out a “z,” then touching and dragging to back up the cursor behind it, they could type pretty much anything they wanted.
Typing behind the Z leaves auto-correct unable to guess what word you could possibly be forming—”cabinetz?” it asks, so it leaves you alone.
Works on any iPhone/Touch app that features spelling correction, actually. You could, of course, just turn off Auto-Correction in the Settings/General/Keyboard menu, but this method provides a quick tweak that leaves the correction for the real typos while not slowing you down for other types of work.
