Is there an app to turn off auto correct...

But keep spell check on?
C'mon Apple. Aren't you listening to your users?
Has anyone invented an app to workaround this flaw?

Not yet. I'm hopping it's a minor (unadvertised) change in iOS 5. The inclusion of a system dictionary available to all apps (if the developer so chooses) is encouraging.

Did you report this to Apple? Posting that here is not making a request to Apple

I know. The intent of the post was to ask if there is an app for this purpose. I am sure Apple knows about this. I don't think they consider it a flaw.

You've probably read it elsewhere in the Forum but there is a workaround for the annoying autocorrect. A Member noticed that the iPad never autocorrects names in the Contacts app, so he suggested entering frequently 'autocorrected' words there as a 'spoof' contact. It works wonderfully if the iPad is constantly autocorrecting business or technical or other terms. For sure, it's a work around, but it does work.

Thanks! Sounds like a good plan until Apple comes up with something better.
