On my iPhone 5, can I set a preference to ask if I want to send a message that has misspelled words before it's sent?

The spell checker correctly shows a red underline to flag misspelled words. However, sometimes I miss them or inadvertently send the message before I've checked (new user, not sure how this happens). Is there a way to have a question box show up to ask me if I'm ready to send with spelling errors? I did find some guidance in prior questions to the Community but they were for other Apple i products.

Not that I have found. The interface apparently expects you to correct them the moment they occur. A PITA, if you ask me, since it breaks the typing rythmn.
