Help Auto text correct

[Android Question]

How to stop auto correct or auto fill from changing what I have typed? If I don't catch it
Makes what I hav ed written meaningless or dumb. See have above that was caused by the finger drag thing. Can I turn it off/how?
When I wrote akhal-teke looked back and found system had corrected to something totally different. It is nice for them to show the options but not to automatically correct what I wrote. Really tired of having to go back and erase retype what I put in the 1st place. Please advise any options for fixing this. Thxs

It's usually a setting in your keyboard. Go to menu>settings>language & input and tap on your default keyboard. There you should be able to get to settings for auto correction and turn it off.
