Couple of Tweaks to use Autocorrect Feature
Auto corrects learns the words that you type frequently and suggests you the same based on that but many times it learns incorrect words so you need to tell auto correct what you are trying to type. To do so you can navigate to Settings>General>Keywords>Shortcuts, and type the word that you use more frequently and the word that it guesses incorrect. Next time Autocorrect will show you correct word that you are trying to type.
Another Good way to Stop Autocorrect suggesting your wrong words is to Erase all the words that your phone as learned which means setting it to Default. Just navigate to Settings>General>Reset and tap on Reset Keyboard Dictionary. What it does now is once again it will try and learn your texting habbits from the beginning.
