So, if you say:

Picasso's blue period was amazing period

what happens?

Anybody know how to use the autocorrect? Sure, hit spacebar if the correction is correct, but how do you tell it to NOT correct?

Tap the little "x" to the right of the proposed "correction".

If you have fat fingers, it is difficult to tap the little "x" to cancel the auto-correct.

Another option is to type the word as you want, and then type the letter x > backspace (delete) > space. That's three quick keystrokes (x, delete, space).

Looks like it'll misinterpret for the punctuation. You can get around this by saying "caps" before Period.

Another, tedious option:

“No Caps on. No space on. P-E-R-I-O-D. No Space off. No Caps off.”
