it's not just you.

the iphone keyboard has gone to shot.

and auto-correct has lost me data. I've typed in something important to remember and later when I go look at it ("call spaghetti before 5pm!"), I can't figure what I typed in.

In the end, I learned to disable auto-capitalization, auto-correction and smart punctuation.

and editing is a nightmare. Getting the cursor in the middle of a word is just about impossible, like highlighting just the characters you want to cut or copy.
