UPDATE

Ok i figure it out


To prevent the iphone from autocorrecting a particular word, you have to swipe across the 3 suggested auto-correct words—from left to right.


this will cancel the autocorrect for that word


The tricky part is, you have to be sure that you swipe across the entire span. If you just swipe a little bit it won't work.
