Auto-correct question...

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I just came by to ask a quick question, perhaps the answer is obvious and I missed it but I need help.

The keyboard's great, best one I've used so far. I was just wondering if it's possible to delete words from auto-correction. For instance, sometimes when I want to type "for" I accidentally type "foe." I'm never going to use the word "foe" so if I could delete it from the auto-correct suggestions I'm thinking it would automatically change it to "for." Does that make any sense? Is that possible, and if it is, how would I go about doing it? Thank you very much for any help.

Hello
the answer is in the users' guide ;)
Another very powerful feature of the keyboard is the custom AutoText. An AutoText is a shortcut which will replace any typed word (or even a single letter) with something else. You need to go to the keyboard settings to define your own AutoText shortcuts. You can use AutoText for many things:
...
- correct common typos, for instance you can replace "food" by "good" (the dictionary algorithm will never do that automatically otherwise, as "food" is a valid word"). It can be seen as a way of removing words from the builtin dictionary. You can even set up a custom autotext to replace "lol" by "lol", which will prevent auto-correction of "lol" to "LOL".
