Default Turning off auto correct

Hey guys,

I tried doing a search and didn't find the answer. I'm new to Android phones. The auto correct on this thing is ridiculous. Anyone know how to turn it off? I looked all over the place under settings and I can't find it.

Well I sat on the phone with ZTE "customer service", (if you can call it that) for about 20 minutes and the lady couldn't tell me how to do it. She kept telling me to open a text message on hold on the screen. Some kind of pop up was supposed to come up but didn't for me. She told me there must be something wrong with my phone's software. I don't feel like resetting my phone and redownloading all my apps and stuff. Lame.

Ended up going to a Metro PCS store the other day and the worker guy figured it out. Took him a little while though. I never thought to look under the Swipe settings. That's a weird place for it.
