Autocorrect is extra annoying for people with non-standard vocabulary. Any odd acronyms or inside jokes are generally squashed by autocorrect. And if you are a slow typer, it is frustrating enough to deal with a tiny keyboard WITHOUT something screwing up your sentences.

On Android 4.1.2 using Google Swype:

Visit Settings > Language & Input

Click the gear next to Swype

Click Preferences > Word suggestion

Disable Auto-correction
