iPhone autocorrect (british)

Greetings, Apple discussions.

I am a canadian iPhone user.

I have my language set to British English

So why, please tell me why, does my iPhone "autocorrect" favourite back to the american "favorite" when I type with autocorrect on?

(same goes for armour - armor, capitalise - capitalize.. etc. this is getting really annoying)

iPhone 4, iOS 4, 16 GB

Have you clicked the little globe next to the spacebar on your iPhones keyboard when writing a message? It should display the current keyboard language. I used this thread to change it just now and it's working perfect for me

To deal with words that end in "ize" instead of the "ise" that is now in your UK English Keyboard, you need to program your iPhone's autocorrect. I found the easiest way to do this was to type the word (eg. organization) a couple of times and not let the autocorrect change it. Eventually Autocorrect recognized that "organization" is my prefered choice and gave it as the option. It still says that it's spelt wrong, but and the end of the day, who cares? I find it more annoying for autocorrect to place in the US spelling than inserting a wavy red line at the bottom of a correct word.
