Let's keep this in proportion: the problem is not as horrible as it might sound. More often than not, this "auto-correction" feature is very good, it fixes minor typos like exchanging letters, failure to start a sentence from a capital letter, etc. When it goes bad, you can always insist on your spelling, and you can selectively turn off some of the more "viral" correction types.
