dictionary is activated when you select a supported keyboard.

iPod touch uses the active dictionary to suggest corrections or complete the word
you’re typing. You don’t need to interrupt your typing to accept the suggested word.

To reject the suggested word, finish typing the word as you want it, then tap the “x” to
dismiss the suggestion before typing anything else. Each time you reject a suggestion
for the same word, iPod touch becomes more likely to accept your word.

iPod touch also underlines words you’ve already typed that might be misspelled.

one of the suggested corrections.
If none of the suggestions is correct, you can correct the spelling of the selected word
by retyping it. To leave the word unchanged, tap somewhere else in the message area.
