I was wondering the same. If the spellchecker on the iPad just underlined
words, I could use it to catch typos, but it kept inserting out and out
mistakes instead of just underlining beyond its limited vocabulary.  I had
to turn it off.  The underlining on my laptop doesn't bother me. Of course,
it gets carried away when I type something in another language 8-)
