Autocorrect changes "me" to "mr" all the time!!

Ever since upgrading it's so frustrating because the autocorrect 100% of the time changes me to mr. I talk about me a lot! I finally gave up and just leave it to mr! I hope they fix this soon.

3gs, iOS 4

Well- resetting my dictionary did absolutely nothing for 'me' to 'mr' except erase all my other preferred settings. No help there.

The problem is Apple has put too much thought into this- it is the exact position of your finger on the 'e' character. If it is not centered (or slightly to the left) you will be left with 'mr' every time. Even after dictionary resets. I do not recommend doing that unless you are getting odd characters (such as a comma or apostrophe) auto inserted into your word.

I heard doing this 21 times will work, but it hasn't for me so far. I just have to try to be precise.

Hope this helps
