Avoid automatic correction without a method for the user to opt-out or disable the feature, session or device-wide.

Whenever automatic correction is used, be sure to allow a method to revert to the spelling as typed. This may be as simple as disabling auto-correction for the second entry of the same word in the same field (or location in the field), so the user may simply re-key the phrase as intended.
