Is there a way to change the autocorrect settings? When I type e-mails it automatically replaces certain spelling errors. But it also changes one acronym I use a lot because it thinks it's a spelling error.

I would like to delete that one item but keep everything else the same.

If you don't need the ' marks the Replace text as you type, by default enabled option inserts into text, you can easily switch it off in Settings/Input/Word Completion, just by disabling the Replace text as you type checkbox:

Then, however, 'Im', 'havent', 'dont' etc. won't be auto-corrected. If you would like to keep them, but only eliminate one, certain word, it won't work. The two files, \Windows\dictprob.dat and \Windows\statdict.dat, which also contain these wired-in corrections, aren't editable / reverse engineerable, at least to my knowledge.
