Auto correct?

Why does my phone only auto correct to a made up word not in the dictionary?  It never auto corrects to a real word.   It literally is doing the opposite of what its designed for.   It's misspelling my words, not corrercting them

    Your phone probably does not autocorrect real words since it maybe being too old.

    Have you checked in a dictionary that these words really don't exist? Give us a couple of examples of what you were trying to type, and what Autocorrect suggested instead.
