It's consistently done that using names with unusual spellings since nearly day 1 - I fought tooth and nail with autocorrect on my iPhone 3GS and finally turned the damned thing off.
NGL, it slowed me down a whole bunch, but also forced me to take my word game up, which I kinda like, actually.
I've not used auto-correct for years, I feel it's the way to go if one wants to avoid this whole word edit fiasco.
