Help Auto-correct...KNOCK IT OFF!

The EVO is driving me batty with the auto-correct. Most of the time, yes, it's beautiful... but for a small example, I told someone I had a new Evo... which despite the capitalization and all, changed itself to Eve after I hit space...

I had to delete that and retype, but then I had to hit the down arrow on the "word suggestion list" and type "add a word"... then I had to retype Evo to convince its spell checker that, yes, Evo is a word... then it'll accept Evo... except that going to "add a word" somehow deleted Evo out, so I had to type it a fourth time.

I love autocorrect for the most part, but I use a LOT of non-standard words. And I have NO idea how a proper nown showing ownership would work, I'm not adding "Shawn's" in as a word, but the phone was sure I didn't want to txt anyone for "shawn's number".

Please help! There must be some "don't autocorrect" this word button I'm missing. Is there at least an undo button for all the times I miss it but notice? If I type "****er" I don't want "sucker" edited in for me!

the first word (before you hit space) is the letters you typed, semi long click on it and it will add the word!
