It's one of those quirks of iOS you have to accustom yourself to: when 
an invalid suggested spelling appears, there is an "x" on the right side 
of its window. Touch the "x" and the invalid suggestion goes away. If 
you leave it untouched, the suggestion is installed over the text you 
have typed.


It's a question of turning off spelling correction entirely or 
accustoming yourself to using touch to take control of it. I found it 
inconvenient at first, but I am getting used to it. I find a good per 
cent of the suggestions are valid and ease my typing task, but certainly 
not all of them.
